Darryl’s passion for plants and engineering approach to plant care have turned him into one of the most trusted houseplant resources on the internet! What was initially a hobby Tumblr page has turned into an Instagram account with over half a million followers\, a go-to website for anything houseplant related\, his very own houseplant care book\, and plant time-lapse videos that have gone viral around the world. \nMost Important\, Least Understood \nOutdoor gardeners generally have a good sense of their sunlight exposure and indoor grow ops have well documented instructions to follow – but houseplant owners are left with vague\, hand-wavy directions like “bright indirect light” – which leads to dramatically different interpretations and results. In this talk\, Darryl will reveal the secrets to understanding light with a particular focus on how it applies to houseplants – comparing natural light and grow lights. You will finally be able to make sense of light! \n  \nHome \n \nRefreshments\, door prizes. Pumpkin carving competition. \nFree to members\, $ 5.00  non-members at the door \n  URL:https://gardenontario.org/event/schomberg-horticultural-society-daryll-cheng-houseplants-most-important-least-understood/ LOCATION:Schomberg Community Hall\, 325 Main Street\, Schomberg\, L0G 1T0 CATEGORIES:Community Event,District,Flower & Vegetable Show,Society Meeting,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gardenontario.org/wp-content/uploads/Darryl-Cheng-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Schomberg Horticultural Society":MAILTO:schomberghortsociety@gmail.com GEO:44.0039021;-79.6844574 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Schomberg Community Hall 325 Main Street Schomberg L0G 1T0;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=325 Main Street:geo:-79.6844574,44.0039021 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20251117T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20251117T210000 DTSTAMP:20260503T054407 CREATED:20251001T160346Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251001T160346Z UID:10001583-1763406000-1763413200@gardenontario.org SUMMARY:November CHS Workshop: "Grapevine Spheres" with Scott Turner DESCRIPTION:The Cannington Horticultural Society is very pleased to offer this unique workshop!
