Happy Thanksgiving, my friends! Please join me at an event I am involved in next Sunday relevant to the changing season. My son, Soren and his friends are providing lunchtime music.
The Food Systems Roundtable of Waterloo Region invites you to our ongoing Skill Share Series. This October, join us as we explore how to put fruit trees to rest outside, as well as how to grow microgreens indoors during our colder months! This event will be hosted along with the Laurier Centre for Sustainable Food Systems, with hopes that participants can contribute their knowledge of local food systems to ongoing research.
This community event will take place on October 19th, 2025, from 10 am-1 pm in Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate and Vocational School's (KCI) food forest and green industries classroom (greenhouse). Parking and lunch will be provided. Participation is free, but space is limited; please register through this Eventbrite to secure your spot. We will be accepting donations and memberships for the Food Systems Roundtable of Waterloo Region during the event to cover workshop expenses and support lunchtime musicians. Donations will help us run future events and projects, including a larger Skill Share event in 2026!
Event Descriptions:
Microgreens and Storytelling Skillshare - Join Sarah Granskou of Granskou Greens for a hands-on exploration of growing microgreens for KCI's smoothie bar.
