The Centre for Sustainable Food Systems has opened registration for the first half of our 2019 workshop series!

The UBC Farm hosts a wide range of workshops covering everything from gardening to herbal medicine, making fiber, fermenting, foraging, and much more. This year, we have added several new workshops and brought back many favourites. All of our workshops are beginner friendly and open to everyone, so please share with your networks (attached are a poster and flyer)!

For more details and to register, visit http://ubcfarm.ubc.ca/workshops/ or view our list of workshops below.

Please sign up early, as popular workshops sell out; and workshops with insufficient registration are cancelled five days prior. To stay informed of new workshop offerings and other events at the UBC Farm, please sign up for our newsletterhttp://ubcfarm.ubc.ca/contact-us/ubc-farm-newsletter/

We hope to see you at the UBC Farm soon!
