Green Venture
22 Veevers Drive L8K 5P5 Hamilton, ON, Canada

Join Green Venture’s Heather Govender and Megan Sutton to learn tips for waste reduction in the kitchen. We will cover the basics of making easy, budget-friendly plant-based milks, demonstrate how to make veggie broth from scraps that would have otherwise gone straight into the compost bin, and show some easy examples of foods that can be regrown from scraps. We will send registrants a list of ingredients to have on hand if you would like to follow along in making plant-ba...sed milk.

You may have noticed we've recently rebranded. Nature Ninjas will now be called Nature Kids. We take our responsibility to live in community with each other seriously. Words and terms matter in our journey to know nature and each other better, and our new program name reflects this journey. We apologize for any harm caused by the former program name, as we strive to create a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for all #gvnaturekids #hamont #hamontkids #getoutside #environmental education
