The April workshops will focus on your well-being and getting your garden started. We want to invite the community to share and grow with us.

By participating in Social Harvest's workshops, you contribute to financing urban agriculture-related programs in Ward13 and beyond. All proceeds are reinvested in the Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre and our food security programming.

All workshops have been moved to an online format due to latest COVID-19 wave. We will send participants a Zoom link close to the time of the event.

We encourage people to use our donation button to help us support community engagement. If you need support to access the workshops, contact us at Social.Harvest@crcrr.org or at 613 745 0073 ext. 151.
