Organic Master Gardener Program

The Organic Master Gardener (OMG) program in Stony Plain is Alberta’s first and most extensive organic master gardener program. Under the umbrella of the Multicultural Heritage Centre, the program is geared to adult learners of all levels of gardening experience.
“There is a strong movement in Canada toward growing our own food and learning about what we eat and this program is an excellent way to learn how to be part of the gardening nation movement,” says Judy Kesanko, administrator of the program. “From those absolutely brand new to the soil, to those who have years of experience in their own yards, or for those who want an addition to a resume, the Organic Master Gardener program in Stony Plain is an excellent means to enjoyable learning.”

Students attend three-hour classes at the Centre in Stony Plain in the evenings, approximately three times a month from February to October. The first class for 2014 is on Wednesday, February 5, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
