Learn techniques for building healthy resilient gardens that withstand drought and pest stresses in our changing and challenging climate.
About this Event
What is regenerative agriculture? Regenerative agriculture is a conservation and rehabilitation approach to food and farming systems. It focuses on topsoil regeneration, increasing biodiversity, improving the water cycle, enhancing ecosystem services, supporting biosequestration, increasing resilience to climate change, and strengthening the health and vitality of the soil.
Come and explore how we can implement regenerative practices in our home gardens. Learn techniques for building healthy resilient gardens that can withstand drought and pest stresses through innovative practices such as no-dig gardening, perennial food crops, mulches and cover-cropping, deep-litter small flock systems, wood chip gardening and more. Now more than ever our gardens can provide us with the inspiration and small scale practice required for a changing, more challenging climate.
This is an online workshop.

The Compost Education Centre is located on unceded and occupied Indigenous territories, specifically the land of the Lekwungen speaking people—the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations. These nations are two of many, made up of individuals who have lived within the porous boundaries of what is considered Coast Salish, Nuu-Chah-Nulth and Kwakwa'wakw Territory (Vancouver Island) since time immemorial. At the CEC we seek to respect, honour and continually grow our own understandings of Indigenous rights and history, and to fulfill our responsibilities as settlers, who live and work directly with the land and its complex, vital ecologies and our diverse, evolving communities.
