Hello! You are invited to sign up to join Qu'ART's Queer Community Gardening Club ! We are holding space in Centretown to share so you can get your hands dirty as we learn to grow and show off moments of fresh queer creativity.
June is already here, so let's get started!
As a Queer Arts Collective in Ottawa, our goal this summer is to mix fun volunteer gardening work in local Ottawa community plots with learning, socializing, and fun intergenerational knowledge-sharing.
