I will be giving an organic gardening talk at a Regina Eco-Living
pot-luck supper on May 31, and I have one planned class ( full 3 hours)for the Master Gardener program at U of S on July 21, 1-4 pm.
If you can get 10 interested people and a location, I would be happy to give a full class in Regina as well. I gave 2 last year, one at Sunrise library and 1 at the Cancer Society. The only reason there is no full class planned for Regina so far is my lack of time for organization this year. I guess I was counting on arrangements that fell through.
In the meantime, have a look at most of the class notes on the SNAP website, There is a direct link from the inf0 section/ organics.
