Build A Greenhouse: Learn By Doing!   

What: Workshop co-sponsored by Transition Toronto
When: Saturday, September 4, 2010 @ 1:00 am to Monday, September 6, 2010 @ 1:00 am
Where: Call for details (see below)

Sorry for the short notice but this event just got finalized. There is a chance here to learn how to build a greenhouse (and to actually build a greenhouse at the same time).

Members of Toronto's Zeitgeist movement, a movement concerned with peak oil and the development of technologies that will mitigate its impacts, have a house in Toronto and are equipping it with some low energy technologies. This weekend they are building a greenhouse and would be happy to have TTo members volunteer to join in. It's a great opportunity learn how to build a greenhouse. Anyone interested is asked to call Ryan at 647-965-5604 for location and timing details.

Future work on the house will involve installing renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.

If you would like to help make items for the sale, Lea Tran will be in the Garden between 11 and 4 pm today (Thurs, Sept 2nd), so drop by if you would like to learn how to make nature notebooks and cards from pressed flowers. If you can't make this time, but would still like to help out, e-mail me and we'll sort something out.
