Everdale is a remarkable facility located in Hillsburgh, Ontaro. It is about a 35 minute drive away from downtown Guelph.
Everdale is dedicated to educating people about virtually all aspects of sustainable living. They offer school programs, a farm store, and many different applications of sustainable building materials and techniques. One of the things Everdale is known for are their seminars and workshops, which take place periodically through out the year on topics such as solar power, strawbale construction, and organic gardening. Recently a smart home called Home Alive! was relocated to the Everdale, and self-guided tours are available whenever the site is open from June to September.
Everdale Environmental Learning Centre is open on Saturdays 1000-1600 from June until September. Admission is $5 for adults, $2 for children (5 and younger free), seniors $3. The maximum admission is $20.00 per car.

The Arboretum at the University of Guelph is quite lovely. There are a number of different types of gardens (English, Dwarf Conifer etc.) and 8.2km of trails on over 160 hectares. It's a great place to walk and check out local flora (and fauna if you're lucky). They have educational programs for adults and kids as well as tours.
My favourite was the Zen garden. Very peaceful. Leave a Comment Phone: +1 519-824-4120 ext. 52113Directions: The Arboretum, Ontario Agricultural College,University of Guelph, Guelph Ontario Canada N1G 2W1Website: http://www.uoguelph.ca/arboretum/
