Geared towards those 55+ though everyone is welcome. Enjoy a 45 minute presentation by the LaSalle Horticultural Society entitled, ‘The Garden Above.’ Gardening experts will share their knowledge and experience on how to create a garden meant for smaller spaces and balconies.

Following some light refreshments, we will roll up our sleeves and dig into the dirt! Each participant will have the opportunity to do a little gardening and leave with a potted plant of their own to bring home.

Our Sneakers & Speakers sessions are free to attend and are generously funded by Pathway to Potential (P2P). This event will be held at the Riverdance Community Centre located at 1 Laurier Drive in LaSalle.
