Deep Gardening for Social Change

From the desk of Garden Jane

I hope this finds you happy and well! The Garden Jane gang is definitely up for spring planting. We passed time this winter with enjoyable discussions of 'No Work' gardening and studies of soil life.

And now that spring has turned the first corner, it is time to start some seeds and consider joining us for a workshop, discussion, story or activity.

Kids and families can join us for a new season of story telling and activities in several places. And for gardeners looking to connect to other beings in spirit, there is a new Deep Gardening for Social Change workshop too. The question we consider is how to get peaceful with diverse life forms. Any self aware gardener knows that can be a challenge. (We can be all **love and light** while the garden is the way we like it, but if a cucumber beetle family shows up in the hood, peace is a Big Issue.)

With visions of fresh peas and kale and seeing gardening friends very soon,

Jane

Deep Gardening for Social Change

(part of Toronto Community Development Institute)

Fri April 24th, 10 am - 5 pm

$65-$75 or attend institute for another 2-3 days for an additional $40/day.

This workshop delves into deep gardening as a way to change the way we eat, grow and relate to food. Deep gardening integrates several organic approaches, including biodynamics, permaculture and sustainable agriculture. While non-denominational, deep gardening is influenced by Buddhism, earth-based spiritualism and nature-based religions. Come prepared to garden.
