The Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP), has provided Canadian Organic Growers funding valued at $24,400 for its Senior Organic Gardeners’ Program (SOG) in 2019.
This great news allows our Horticultural Manager to assist seniors in Ottawa Community Housing buildings and in Seniors’ Community Centres to take part in gardening workshops and to put their skills to work to grow beautiful healthy veggies, herbs and edible flowers!
SOG offers seniors hands-on workshops on planning gardens, planting, caring for, harvesting and celebrating their gardens and the produce that they raise!
The NHSP SOG project continues, in 2019, in more than 10 locations in the City of Ottawa. Our program allows seniors groups to encourage seniors to benefit from the Great Gardening Experience. Any seniors’ group that would like to get involved can browse our website.
