SUMMARY:Monarchs & Milkweed 101- Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this short\, hands‑on workshop\, participants learn how to responsibly raise and release monarchs from home by understanding each stage of their life cycle—egg\, caterpillar\, chrysalis\, and adult—and the habitat conditions they depend on.\nThe session also explores how home‑based monarch care supports local ecosystems\, from protecting milkweed to boosting pollinator networks\, giving people practical ways to strengthen monarch survival in their own backyards.\n  \nWhat to bring? \n\nYour questions and curiosity!\n\n  \nWhere to go? \n\nPlease meet at the GreenUP Office (378 Aylmer St. N.\, Suite 4\, downtown Peterborough). Public parking is available via the Peterborough Bus Terminal or on neighbouring city streets.\n\n  \nWhat’s the impact? \n\nWhen more community members have a better understanding of the role of monarchs in their environment and take an active role in their survival\, we will have a stronger\, more resilient local ecosystem.\n\n  \nRegister HERE!

SUMMARY:Soil Biologist Workshop at Bonnacord Community Garden
DESCRIPTION:In late August\, urban orchardist Susan Poizner visited two of Peterborough’s Community Orchards to examine their soil. Soil samples were taken and sent to Derek Barbe\, a local soil biologist\, for analysis. A lot was learned about the micrology of the soils and how important soil health is for the success of the plants that grow in them. This visit will be turned in to podcast\, so stay tuned for that! \nIn the meantime\, Derek Barbe will be doing a Live Soil Food Web Workshop at Bonaccord Community Garden on Monday\, September 28th at 5:00pm. \nIf you are interested in attending\, please contact Lorraine at loaville@gmail.com. A suggested donation of $10 is appreciated to help cover the cost of the talk.
