Spring is officially on our doorsteps and the spring warmth is sure to come (hopefully). Often the most favourite part of the year for ‘green-thumb’ gardeners, it’s time to prep your gardens for the 2018 growing season. As one of the Green Committee Garden Talks, ‘It Takes a Village to Raise a Chive’ will take you into the miniature world of the gardening environment.
It Takes a Village to Raise a Chive by Chelsey Anderson – Wednesday, April 11th 6:30-8:00 (in the Go-Getters)
Chelsey Anderson and her famous gardener mother, Donna Balzar, have co-authored a new book. April 11th from 6:30 – 8:00($5 donation at the door)
“It Takes a Village to Raise a Chive” will shine a light on all the critters who are truly responsible for growing the food in our urban gardens. During this talk you will learn how to encourage this “village” in your own gardens, meaning you can let nature take care of it! From microbes who feed your plants on demand, to robber flies who will eat almost any pest, to our native bumble bees who pollinate 1/3 of our crops; find out who does what and how you can employ them in your own edible backyard. Chelsey will have some autographed books on hand for sale.
