*Westside Food Festival - Pests! Who's Eating My Lettuce and What to Do About It

As anyone who's ever gardened before knows, pests can sometimes be a real problem in the garden (and can be particularly discouraging if you're a new gardener). In this Marpole Oakridge Neighbourhood Food Network workshop with Karen Ageson from Farmers on 57th, you'll learn various ecologically sound techniques for minimizing damage and disappointment caused by pests in your garden. We'll have a community seed library present - pick up some free seeds for your garden, swap or donate seeds. Part of the Westside Food Festival. Advance registration recommended.

Cost: $12, 50% discount with Leisure Access Card
