OISE Community Learning Garden Events

2020-21

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person events in the OISE Learning Garden have been postponed until the re-opening of campus. Instead, we offer gardening events and webinars online, which are posted as offered on our ESE events page. To access videos of the 2020 webinars that were recorded, please use the following links:
