More than half the class is now past the 1/2 way mark for volunteer hours and still enthusiastic to complete there time. This years class accomplished alot and
should take pride in there achievements. There hasn't been a killing frost yet, but temps at the airport reached 3 deg C so there could be mush in the flower beds. There is still plenty of bed building and all the iris that were dug need to be planted.

A bit about the classes:
Because classes are specific to gardening in Peel County, and the information is generally missing from most gardening books and horticultural courses, this program is of interest to people who have never gardened before and who have gardened all their lives.
There is a basic core content, but the course is flexible and the classes will be adapted to address the needs of the attendees.

This winter it is proposed to have seven classes, held on the second and fourth Saturday of the month beginning on Saturday 13th January 2007 with the final class on
Saturday 7th April 2007. Classes will be held in the afternoon at the Region of Peel Agricultural Society's headquarters building, at the Brampton Fairgrounds,
(S.W. corner of HeartLake Road and Old School Road in Caledon).

We do not make a financial charge, in return for the course training, each attendee commits to contributing an equivalent amount of time, 14 hours, helping in the
fairground gardens during 2007. The commitment amounts to an average of two hours a month from April to October and can be contributed at such times as an individual chooses.

Because we are using the premises of the Region of Peel Agricultural Society for the classes and are gardening on society land, for insurance purposes, it is required that everyone associated with Peel Teaching Garden also be a member of the society.
The membership fee is $5.00 and this will be collected at the first class.
