Green Dreamers Plant Drive

The Green Dreamers are holding a Spring Plant Drive on Saturday, June 8th from noon to 3 pm at the Sunnyside branch of the Ottawa Public Library.  We are asking for donations from you of the plants that are healthy, local, hardy and drought-resistant.  We would love perennials like shade-loving hostas, always blooming black-eyed susans and daisies, fragrant peonies, sturdy stonecrop, and walkable thyme. These plants would be used at the Sunnyside branch, The Firehall, and Bank Street corners between the two bridges.  Please no shrubs, bushes, or trees and remember to drop them off potted and labelled.

We are also looking for volunteers – if you have a green thumb or an interest in developing one while also giving back to the community, please consider becoming a Green Dreamer.  You can chat with the Green Dreamers at the Spring Plant Drive or email, Christine Bradley.

Learning in Retirement

The Learning in Retirement program is enrolling adults of all ages for its Late Spring six-week lecture series, and language and writing workshops, which begin the week April 29 to May 3. Explore personality theory, the creative process, physics, human nature according to social psychology, Canada’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, how to write opinion articles, and more. The perennially sold out “Behind the Headlines” series by Dr. Elliott Tepper has been moved to a larger venue due to its immense popularity.

Can’t commit to a six-week series or workshop? From May 2 to June 13, the program also offers 30 single lecture events. Join Michael Runtz to learn about the natural history of Algonquin Park, celebrate Pete Seeger’s legacy with Dr. Stephen Richer, and explore many more fascinating topics, including human memory, the birth of rock and roll, art appreciation, populism, Syria, the history of magic, astronomy, and managing interpersonal conflict.
