Learn how to build a passive solar greenhouse that grows food even in Edmonton winters, without fossil fuels or sky-high heating bills.

If you've ever stared at your snow-covered backyard and thought, "Could I still grow food out there?", you're not alone. Edmonton's outdoor growing season is short, but passive solar greenhouses can stretch it by months or even make it year-round.

In this 2-hour workshop, Kim Ross will show you the key concepts behind designing a four-season greenhouse that works with our cold, sunny climate. Whether you're dreaming of winter kale or just tired of store-bought herbs, this session will help you rethink what's possible.
