Gardening without Pesticides Seminars 2009


Ontario’s cosmetic pesticides ban will take effect on April 22, 2009. This will mean a change to the way some people look after common weeds and insect infestations on their properties. Ottawa Public Health has a series of workshops with information on how to care for lawns and gardens naturally. Come out and get the facts on beautiful lawns and gardens without the use of pesticides. Our horticulturalists will set you up with the information you need.

To register for our free seminars, please call 613-580-6744, ext. 26301
