Rediscovering Canadian Tomatoes
Saturday, September 19, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Did you know that there are no longer any garden tomato breeding programs in Canada? All new varieties on the market are bred for American gardens and growing conditions. Most seed companies are importing seeds from other countries and tomatoes that were bred in Canada in decades past are being lost. But - you can save them!! Come learn to grow heritage tomatoes and save their seed. You’ll get a chance to taste true Canadian tomatoes and take some of their seeds home with you for next year. Stay for an afternoon of canning and preserving tomatoes - sauce, salsa, juice and more. Hosted by Garden Party.

All events are at Diversity Gardens - 1528 Notre Dame Drive (between St. Agatha and Petersburg)

Contact us at cogpww@sympatico.ca for more information. For more events click here www.cogwaterloo.ca

Please note this is going to be happening just west of WATERLOO and east of Stratford, Ontario

I'm planning on being there...anybody care to join me? LOL
