In partnership with Capital Greens, we’re hosting this workshop where you’ll learn how to get nearly 100% germination, and how to create the ideal conditions for your seedlings to grow into strong, healthy, high-yielding vegetable crops, right in your own home!
Join us online where we will begin our workshop with a ~30 minute “classroom session”. Then, Farmer Mat will demonstrate step-by-step how to prepare your growing medium, fill your pots, plant your seeds, and care for your seedlings until it’s time to plant them in the garden. There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions!
Meet the facilitator
Mat has been farming in Ottawa for the past 5 years, growing a variety of organic vegetables at Capital Greens Urban Farm. He started out growing vegetables in people’s suburban front and backyards before he took on a larger plot of land at the Just Food Community Farm. He also rents space in a heated greenhouse on-site. He runs a small vegetable CSA and market farm as well as an organic vegetable nursery, supplying seedlings to local gardeners and farmers alike.
