The next foraging walk will be held on Monday, July 4th at 7 pm. An educational tour, Carolinian Food Forest Walking Tour, will take place on Saturday, July 2nd 3pm. We hope many people will join us again.
We have just finished a productive Sunday! We installed the water pipe hose, set up stations for paper making, built a water drainage system, and displayed paper samples and some of Lynette’s artwork on the walls of Satellite Project Space.
See the aprons on the wall? They are waiting for you to join us in papermaking and later to transform the handmade paper into a sculpture installation in the gallery. But let’s collect plants first, the base material for papermaking. Join us tomorrow, Monday, June 27 for a foraging walk at the German Canadian Club. We meet at 6:30 pm at 1 Cove Rd in the parking lot. You don't need to bring anything. It is a free event (like all other activities and workshops in our project, From Foraging to Forging Communities). It is open to anyone, and we hope to see you there. Lynette & Gabriella Share with us pictures of your garden, favourite green space or photos from an outdoor excursion! We want to see natural sights and sounds that make you smile. We would like to activate Satellite Project Space’s window with images of London’s parks, forests and gardens. Please submit your images to [email protected].
You can only submit images that you have personally taken (own the copyright) and if there are people in the picture, make sure you have permission to show their photograph in a public space. Please let us know the location where the picture was taken. Submitting photographs is voluntary and there is no compensation provided. We consider this nighttime slide show an alternative form of coming together around the subjects of nature, ecology and community as it relates to our project. Join us on July 2nd at 3pm for a walk around the Carolinian Food Forest with Jessica Robertson of Wild Craft Permaculture! During this walk you will learn all about how a food forest mimics the pattern and structure of a natural forest but with plants that are deliberately selected to provide food, medicine and other things for us. Learn about the symbiotic relationship between plants through the release of nitrogen and other nutrients into the soil, or by performing natural pest control. This will be a fun-filled adventure and everyone is invited to join us! The food forest is located in South Branch Park at the end of Dillabough Street, take the paved path to the left of 61 Dillabough St. to the river park system and you will see it on your left as you come down the hill. We will meet at the Dillabough Community Gardens which are on your right.
