9-11 Harvest Hours (all ages)
Location: The People’s Apothecary Garden, Lot 62
What's in season: July is one of the most rewarding times to visit - Borage stars are opening, Lavender is at its fragrant peak, Yarrow is in full bloom, and Mullein towers above everything on its second-year spike. The aromatic herbs - Sage, Thyme, Oregano, Rosemary, and Bay Laurel, are loaded with essential oils right now, and the bitter beauties (Mugwort, Wormwood, Betony) are putting up their best growth of the year.
The PAG is open to the public during daylight hours - come wander and explore anytime.

2-4 S4: Growing Food & Community with Alistair Howes
Location: Forbes Hall
Providing access to healthy, sustainable food for local communities often requires thinking outside the box. Join Alistair Howes as he shares how communities can strengthen their food systems and explores the variety of food security projects FED Urban Agriculture has underway. FED's mission is to create high-impact urban food system projects that contribute to an equitable and regenerative future - through garden spaces, educational programs, and advocacy for urban agriculture.
About the speaker: Alistair Howes works with FED Urban Agriculture, a food security initiative based in Victoria, BC. With a background in fine dining and urban farming, Alistair's work is driven by a passion for reconnecting people with the food systems that sustain them, and a belief in local food production as a catalyst for transforming our relationship with the environment.
