OUR WORKSHOPS
In coordination with the community gardens, the LFI coordinates the Garden Guru Series from spring to fall; a series of workshops hosted by local experts on garden-related and food-gathering techniques. This series is open to the public and is well attended by a variety of Revelstoke residents. Every year brings new topics and presenters to learn from.
The 2025 workshop series will include “garden guru” education as well in-the-kitchen skills.
