SOG continued under the direction of our horticultural specialist, Adèle McKay, to offer organic gardening workshops and hands-on sessions to seniors in the following locations: OCH Brooke Towers, Russell Manor, 800 St. Laurent; long-term care facilities St. Patrick’s Home of Ottawa and Le Manoir de Wakefield; and seniors’ residence Sully Gardens, in Wakefield.
Language interpreters assisted seniors in our multicultural locations. Two vibrant garden celebrations marked the end of the season: one at 800 St. Laurent and a final summer celebration at Sully Gardens. A grant from the Ontario Ministry of Immigration and Citizenship as well as a new fruitful partnership with the Quebec Farmers’ Association made this all possible.
