This talk will be presented by Carson Arthur, owner of Carson’s Garden & Market, at Rotary Hall, 375 Main Street Picton.

Did you know that 1 in 4 families in the County are dealing with food security issues?

Join us on Wednesday 29th for a presentation on this issue – and what we can do about it. Carson Arthur will be talking about the food security crisis, and what we – as gardeners – can do to help. He’ll discuss the supply chain, the change in Canadian agriculture, the changing climate and the importance of sustainability.
This event is open to all, and we ask that you bring a donation for the food bank if you’re able. Refreshments will be provided.
