YGH celebrates its fifth anniversary

Calling all existing and future members

For YGH, promoting urban agriculture involves finding the most sustainable ways to grow food. One significant challenge is the current footprint of growing produce indoors in year-round northern greenhouses. We would like to look at comparative greenhouse efficiencies and contribute to lessened fossil fuel use.

If you missed seeing our display at the Guelph Civic Museum over the last two months (above), come visit us at the Guelph Organic Conference on January 27 and 28. You can catch an update on Yorklands while you enjoy the conference!

Nature today and tomorrow at the YGH site.

“Geography clamors for history,” novelist Yann Martel reminds us. Take a springtime stroll around the unique Yorklands Green Hub site in Guelph near York and Watson Roads.

Since we were informed a year ago that the property we want to purchase may come to market in 2017, the Board has decided to focus on developing and implementing pilot projects to show what will happen at Yorklands Green Hub.
