ARAS Community Growing Patch

(South-east corner of RR222 & Wye Road)

Carlene Schneider will teach how to use cover crops as "living mulch" or "green manure" in home gardens to reduce weeds and enrich soil.

Learn about the Ardrossan Recreation and Agricultural Society, the ARAS Community Growing Patch, volunteer opportunities, and their plans for a community greenhouse.

This is a hands-on program; come prepared to play in the dirt!

Presenter Bio: Carlene was raised and educated in Ontario, attending the University of Guelph, majoring in horticulture and business. Since moving to Alberta in 2004, she has found one great opportunity after the next within the agriculture, rural development, and reclamation sectors. The purebred Angus farm she is lucky to live on is nestled between Elk Island National Park and Edmonton. With her family, the farm is evolving to include a market garden business that allows her and her family to connect with their community.
