Upcoming workshops include:

  • May 4, 2008, 10AM-2PM - Green Roofs: reen or living roofs are part of a new wave of construction techniques designed to create environmentally friendly buildings. Join us at the Iris Griffith Centre on May 4th for a special green roof workshop led by John Dafoe. There will be a hands on portion in which participants will be able to assemble cells of plantings that will be applied to a demonstration roof. $10 for Lagoon Society members, $20 non-members. Since this is longer than our other workshops, please bring a lunch and if you prefer gloves for the hands on portion. Please call 604 883-9201 to register. If you have native plants that you would like to donate to the project, please bring them along.
