(Budget) Backyard Homesteading and Urban Foraging

Learn about the abundance available in your backyard and neighbourhood! We’ll go through the basics of how to turn your backyard into a mini homestead regardless of budget or home ownership and how to find edible and useful plants in your neighbourhood.  Everyone will leave with a pot they have made themselves, soil, seeds, and a zine covering the things we have learnt.
