Senior Organic Gardeners (SOG) helps seniors develop their own organic gardens in community housing, apartment buildings, community centres and in their own home gardens. SOG is a program of Canadian Organic Growers – the local chapter Ottawa St Lawrence Outaouais. COG National is the headquarters of our national charity located in Ottawa. We aim to help seniors to learn and practise gardening skills, to enjoy the harvest at home and with other senior gardeners, to encourage more nutritious diets with more fresh organic produce, to get gentle exercise, and to enjoy the company of other senior gardeners thus avoiding social isolation.https://www.cog.ca/ottawa/senior-organic-gardeners/SpeakerRob Danforth Organic Gardener and InstructorRob is an experienced urban organic vegetable and herb gardener and instructor.
