Community Event - Burlington/Oakville - June 12 Grdnrs of Burlington "Urban Homesteading"
Please come and join a friendly group of amateur gardeners interested in learning more about all aspects of gardening.
Join Rob & Chris Croley as they discuss their 35-year journey in homesteading. Their small Homestead produces 75% of their food, including vegetables, fruit trees and bushes, dairy goats, pigs, chickens and bees. Rob & Chris will cover gardening, food preservation techniques, animal husbandry and more!
Rob & Chris Croley live on ½ acre nestled on the bench of the Niagara Escarpment with 2 dogs, 4 stubborn goats, a bunch of chickens and one ornery rooster named Big Blue Lou. They have been organic gardeners for 35 years and love to share their passion for a simpler, more self-sufficient lifestyle.
