Where To Find More Support
• Master Gardeners, Botanical Gardens or Garden Clubs, may offer free or low-cost workshops on gardening, composting and more. • Local businesses, like nurseries, seed companies, or garden centers are often willing to support non-profit programs with low cost or free plants, seeds, or soil. • The internet has a wealth of knowledge, but when it comes to gardening, it is important to get local advice. Go to www.westcoast seeds.com for detailed information on information on how to garden in BC or look up local garden stores as they often have useful blogs with local growing tips.
