CHASING THE WINTER
BLUES AWAY!
I am not sure about you, but I am more than done with this crazy
winter weather we have been having here this season. Cold, warm, ridiculously
cold, wet, warm, it just can’t seem to figure what season it wants to be. I
am not sure if I should be taking out my winter shovel or my garden shovel. All
I do know is that on those warmer days it makes me excited that spring is on
its way! I for one intend to be ready to garden as soon as it’s warm enough to
plant! Best way to do that is get my seeds growing indoors and have a plan
ready for what I want planted before spring even decides to come. So as a
community garden team we figured you may be feeling as anxious to get growing
as we are. We have been busy getting two
great workshop planned to help you do just that. We have teamed together with
some fantastic experts to share their wisdom with you.
March 16th William Dam Seeds (www.damseeds.ca ) and The Flamborough Horticultural
Society (www.gardenontario.org/site.php/flamborough) will be coming to help us present the “Starting
Seeds Indoors” Workshop. We will be shown some of the important techniques that
are needed to successfully start growing your own plants from seeds.
April 19th we are excited that Russ Ohrt from the
Backyard Harvest (www.backyardharvest.ca
) will join us and teach everyone how to get the most out of our garden plots.
He will show us the basic use of the square foot gardening technique.
Both of these workshops start at 7:30 and are completely FREE! We have no maximum limit however we do ask that
you register so we can be properly prepared for all who attend. To register email us at flambcgarden@gmail.com .
You can also follow us now on Facebook, Twitter (GrowwithFBC) and Instagram (flambccommunitygarden) for updates and more upcoming events!
