Children Plant 'Knowledge Tree' in Redruth Park

The San Carlos Community Garden (SCCG) is launching its 2025 Garden Education Workshop series, focusing on sustainable gardening practices and providing practical tips for garden enthusiasts. The first workshop, led by Craig Madden, will cover winter maintenance for fruit trees, emphasizing pruning and soil management techniques. Meanwhile, the Oro-Medonte Horticultural Society is inviting gardening enthusiasts to join and participate in various educational events throughout the year, including talks on native plants and edible landscapes. Gardening not only serves as a fulfilling hobby but also promotes mental well-being and environmental benefits, as it helps clean the air and supports local wildlife. Additionally, community gardens promoted by the Presbyterian Giving Catalog aim to foster spiritual growth and social responsibility among church members while providing fresh produce to the community. Together, these initiatives highlight the growing interest in gardening as a means to connect with nature, enhance personal well-being, and strengthen community ties.
