SUMMARY:Seasons of Connection: Community Stewardship - Session 2. Act: Turf the Turf
DESCRIPTION:in Edmonton\, AB \n—————– \nRemove your lawn and cultivate a nature-inspired\, climate-resilient yard\, neighbourhood\, and city. \nJoin master gardener and nature-inspired designer Dustin Bajer for a workshop and discussion on how to turf your turf\, and build something that works better for people and for the places we live. \nA conventional lawn asks a lot and gives back very little. We’ll look at what replaces it — planting that supports biodiversity\, uses less water\, feeds pollinators\, and holds up better through drought and heat. \nThis is the session where observation turns into action. Practical changes you can make at a yard’s scale\, and what happens when enough yards on a block make them. \nWhether you have a yard\, tend a garden\, share a balcony\, or are just curious\, you’re welcome. \nMeet Dustin Bajer\nDustin Bajer is an educator\, urban farmer\, writer and nature-inspired designer who believes cities are ecotones — places where human ingenuity and natural systems meet and produce abundance. Edmonton sits in Aspen Parkland\, between prairie and boreal forest\, and he takes that overlap as a working model for how a city might be built. \nHe started the Edmonton Guerrilla Gardeners in 2007\, casting seed into back alleys\, boulevards and vacant lots. At Jasper Place High School he built a courtyard food forest of more than eighty edible perennial species that fed the school cafeteria\, and worked with students to design and run Canada’s first high school aquaponics system. In 2014 he partnered with the City of Edmonton’s Roots for Trees program to plant thousands of edible native plants in the river valley. \nIn 2021 he founded Shrubscriber\, which brings together gardeners\, schools and community groups to propagate and distribute trees toward a food-secure\, biodiverse and climate-adapted Edmonton. He also founded BeeComm\, a community for small-scale beekeepers\, and has catalogued Edmonton’s heritage trees through the Alberta Tree Register. He received Edify’s Top 40 Under 40 in 2018 and the Edmonton Urban Forestry Award in 2021. \nEvent details\nDate: Thursday\, October 29\, 2026\nTime: 5:00–8:00 PM\nLocation: Earth’s Refillery\, 10831 95 Street NW\, Edmonton\, AB T5H 2E2\nCost: Free\nCome curious\, bring your questions\, and leave with ideas for the spaces around you. \nTurf the Turf is part of Seasons of Connection: Community Stewardship\, a series exploring how we observe change\, take practical action\, connect with our environment\, and prepare to help shape the future we want to be part of. \nSupported by the City of Edmonton Community Climate Adaptation Micro Grant.

SUMMARY:Seasons of Connection: Community Stewardship Session 4. Prepare: Roots & Renewal
DESCRIPTION:in Edmonton\, AB \n—————- \nWhat have we grown together\, and how do we carry it into the next season? \nRoots & Renewal closes the first season of Seasons of Connection. We’ll look back at what we noticed\, what we did\, and who we met — and decide together what’s worth continuing. \nThis is also where the forest creatures get built. Over the previous three walks we’ve been gathering natural materials; this afternoon we put them together and find places for them. And we’ll personalize the journals that have been carrying everyone’s observations through the series. \nPreparing isn’t only about getting ready for what’s difficult. It’s choosing what to tend. We’ll talk about what this looked like\, what we’d do differently\, and what a second season could be — shaped by the people who showed up for the first. \nWhether you came to every gathering or this is your first\, you’re welcome. \nEvent details\nDate: Saturday\, November 14\, 2026\nTime: 12:00–3:00 PM\nLocation: Earth’s Refillery\, 10831 95 Street NW\, Edmonton\, AB T5H 2E2\nCost: Free\nCome ready to reflect\, make something\, and imagine what’s next. \nSupported by the City of Edmonton Community Climate Adaptation Micro Grant.
