Learn how to preserve the taste and nutrition of your tomato harvest through freezing, dehydrating, ripening tips, and more—just in time for Alberta's first frost.

September in Edmonton can feel like tomato roulette: some ripen faster than you can eat, others stubbornly stay green.

If your garden is overflowing or frost is on the horizon, this hands-on workshop will help you rescue your harvest and preserve the unparalleled taste of homegrown tomatoes well into the winter months.

Led by local urban homesteader and garden sage Cindy Suelzle, this session goes beyond just canning—though we'll certainly roll up our sleeves and fill a few jars. You'll explore freezing, dehydrating, ripening, and smart storage strategies that make the most of every last tomato on the vine… or windowsill.
