Shelter gives plants an advantage. Find out how even minimal shelter helps. Walled gardens, cold frames, fabric bags, and of course, a greenhouse, all help boost growth and grow plants faster. Learn how cover helps plants grow and consider the ways that will work best for you. From tomatoes and potatoes, to basil and broccoli, get the solutions for your garden year-round by growing under cover.

Donna Balzer is an author, speaker, and regular guest on CBC radio and host of Bugs and Blooms on HGTV. For more info check out her website https://www.donnabalzer.com/   Note: although we are meeting in person, Donna will be joining us via Zoom on the big screen at the hall.

We will have two of Donna’s books for sale: No Guff Vegetable Gardening (with Steven Biggs) and the Three Year Gardener’s Gratitude Journal, each $25.00.  (Cheaper than in stores and part of the proceeds go to the Garden Club.)

We will also have our usual Show and Tell Table where you get to show off your flowers, fruits, veggies, and preserves, and a Plant’n’Seed Sale Table for seeds and plants (please bring any you have to share) that you can buy for a donation to the Garden Club.  And save room cause there will be coffee and desserts at the concession!

Hope to see you there!
