What a great day at Silver Spring Studio's Farm Fun Day event! Our booth visitors had fun chatting about plants in their gardens, playing our seed guessing game, and kids had fun colouring and playing with some food! 🍏🍓🥒🥕
We strengthened our community connections, gave away some native tree seedlings, and had lots of fun! We were delighted to meet and talk with Nepean MPP Tyler Watt who tried his hand at the seed guessing game (and did quite well!).

Come pop by the OHS booth and say hello to some of our board members at the Silver Spring Studio's Farm Fun Day! 9 am to 3 pm with activities for kids & adults, information about the OHS, plus other local vendors, all for a great cause!

The OHS Joins Silver Spring Studio for its Farm Fun Day on August 22nd! OHS members, and the public, are invited to visit Silver Spring Studio and Farm at 1705 Robertson Road. From 9 am to 3 pm there will be a full day of fun and educational outdoor activities for people of all ages.

OHS directors and members will be on site to provide information on the OHS, our community impact initiatives, online resources, colouring pages for kids, and to answer your gardening questions.

You may already know Silver Spring Studio from their programming for adults with disabilities, spring compost sale, the farm's annual garlic harvest, or the community garden. They have recently expanded their gardening space. This year's addition of accessible planters is one step towards broadening gardening opportunities and building a fully accessible garden.
