To all,
Unfortunately it seems that only I am allowed to post events being the only Administrator currently. But if there is any event you want to post in this group, feel free to write about them in this Blog or message me, and I'll try my best to keep them updated!
Also, if you have any great ideas to add to this group or to utilize this website tool better, feel free to write them out. Let's try to organize ourselves better!

Forum
Compost or manure? Do snails really hate garlic? And what are the best gardening books? Take a look at the hot topics in the Forum, where you can chat and join in the debate. You can also use the forums to tell others about events, or to swap gluts of apples or courgettes, seeds, and equipment.

We have free range chickens who roam our yard. They sometimes choose my flower and/or vegetable garden as a spot where they scratch, rest, dig, eat my plants and sit for a spell. Do you know of some natural ways to keep them out of my garden, I don't want to use chemicals. Thanks!
General groups
Get together with Landsharers in your area to form a local community. You can use your group to find and share advice and information local to your area, and arrange to meet up to swap seeds, produce, and help. You could also start a group for Landsharers with a particular interest or specialism.
Organisations
Organisations that want to share their work with Landshare Canada and offer land can set up their own hub on the website. Your organisation allows you to collate all your listings in one place, keep a regular blog that any admin of your organisation can add to, and post documents and other files.
