What’s in your garden? Your patio? Your balcony pots?

Join local gardening expert Lorraine Johnson for an afternoon filled with tips and tricks to help you understand and explore the importance of utilizing native species as a way to support local pollinators like wild bees.

With illustrated presentations and hands-on activities, this workshop will inspire you to enhance – or rethink – your approach to gardening.

This workshop includes time outdoors in and around ROM and its neighbourhood (approx. 10 min walking radius). Please come prepared!

In the event of inclement weather, workshop participants will be guided through ROM galleries as an alternate.
