Plants are botanically grouped in ‘families’ because these families have many shared features. This common ground also suggests how you can grow them with confidence.
Distinctions such as Habit and Habitat allow a leap forward in understanding how to grow, harvest, and make the best use of the many ‘cousins’ within the extended family.

In this workshop, by looking at photos from the garden of Kathleen Leeson, RH, you will expand your knowledge of key points in each of the many valuable families that provide us with abundant food and medicine. What makes this cousin ‘food’ and this one ‘medicine’? By understanding the collective characteristics across ‘cousins’, you’ll find it much easier to grow and harvest any plants that appeal to you.

Please RSVP at greenkathleen@bell.net, or call 613-237-1473 and you will receive a Zoom link the day before. Feel free to share this with anyone you think would be interested. You can pay a fee you can afford afterward.
