Learn to Make Nicoise Salad

Join us Thursday, September 15 from 12pm to 2pm* for meal prep followed by a shared lunch!

Learn how to make Nicoise salad, a healthy, versatile meal originating in Nice, France, that combines an assortment of fresh vegetables, hardboiled eggs and other protein options like beans or tuna and topped with a light, lemony vinaigrette.

After participants create this delightful salad, we will share this meal together in the Horodynksy Community Kitchen. Meal kits will also be available at the Troy Scott Community Fridges.

*Note new extended time for this session


The Innisfil Seed Library is excited to partner with the Town of Innisfil and the Rizzardo Health & Wellness Centre for a free weekly vegetable and herb gardening program throughout the summer.

This hands-on program will evolve each week as the plants grow and mature. You may register for one session or the whole series!

You can expect to learn:

  • What plants that are best suited for container gardening

  • How to maintain a healthy container garden

  • Companion planting and incorporating flowers into your vegetable/herb garden to attract pollinators

  • How to harvest veggies and herbs for continuous harvest throughout the season

  • Succession planting

  • How to save seeds later in the season

Not only is this an opportunity to learn about growing food but it's also a great way to help increase food security in our community as fresh produce will be donated to the Troy Scott Community Fridges.
