The joy and work of gardening is neverending. The wondrous turning of the seasons brings on new beauty but also new tasks, new approaches to try, and more rewards to harvest. Gardening requires a mix of labour, love, and learning and Ottawa Public Library is here to keep your garden passion growing.
To conclude our series on gardening, OPL is offering three programs in September to help you with your fall gardening. In these programs, you can learn how to save seeds, preserve your harvest, get your garden ready for winter, and more!
