SUMMARY:Design and Biodiversity Considerations in Your Outdoor Space
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, you will learn about the essential elements of garden design and how to maximize your current or future outdoor space.  An important feature in your garden design will be the inclusion of biodiversity considerations to attract various elements of nature\, including pollinators of various types. It’s never too early to start thinking about new ways to incorporate added features to your outdoor space.  Join us on January 28th for this on-line presentation by Lana Doss owner of The Fine Gardener to start the New Year off on a great gardening foot! \nLana has relished playing in the dirt since she was a child and continues to share that thrill with others. She has spent over 30 years of her career in a leadership role in horticulture. \nShe grew up surrounded by nature and the ocean which inspired her love of all things outdoors. This fueled her passion to support gardeners in their desire to improve the native biodiversity in their outdoor spaces. \nAlso as a member of Ritchie Feed & Seed’s Green Team\, Lana helps people plan their gardens as well as hosting seminars and workshops. With her own company\, The Fine Gardener\, Lana offers garden consultation services.

SUMMARY:February General Meeting - Guest Speaker Chris Kingdon
DESCRIPTION:February General Meeting: Guest Speaker Chris Kingdon\, “Problem Solving: How a Wildlife Garden Evolves”\nIf you have a garden\, you likely have a ‘problem area’. Perhaps it’s ‘too wet’\, constantly flooding in the spring thaw or after a heavy summer storm. Or perhaps it’s ‘too dry’\, with the soil turning to cracked concrete by July. Perhaps you have a steep hill or large tree roots that make mowing the lawn impossible. Or perhaps you dream of beautiful flowerbeds but are overrun by hungry rabbits\, toads\, or other wildlife that keep destroying your hard work. For the Kingdons\, it was ‘all of the above’. But what if rather than problems these were opportunities? A chance to work with nature rather than against it – to create a Wildlife Garden. Tonight’s presentation will recap the five-year journey of Chris and Ona Kingdon’s Certified Wildlife Habitat garden: from a blank lawn to the lush tapestry of colour and life it is today\, and outline the many garden ‘problems’ they faced that led to great garden opportunities. \nAfter working at Reptilia Zoo for 4 years and Toronto Wildlife Centre for another 3\, Chris Kingdon observed\, first-hand\, the struggles wildlife face within the GTA. With a degree from the University of Guelph in Wildlife Biology & Conservation\, and travels to the high arctic\, the deserts of the southwest\, the rainforests of Ecuador\, and across the UK\, Chris identified habitat as a key thread for wildlife everywhere; particularly the importance of habitat to biodiversity\, and alarming destruction and fragmentation due to human sprawl. And so he began to dream of an interconnected network of wildlife gardens across southern Ontario to provide safe passage and sanctuary for all the wonderful creatures that call this land their home. Gardens that blend habitat with traditional garden design ideas resulting in creation of beautiful spaces for humans and wildlife to co-exist and bloom together. \n \nMembers: Instructions for participation in this virtual and in-person event will be emailed to members twice – once on the Friday prior to the meeting\, and again on Monday. Instructions are also available by logging into our site and checking the “members-only” version of this event. \nVisitors: Guests are welcome to participate in this virtual and in-person event at a nominal fee of $5.00 Instructions for participation will be emailed to non-society members who complete the registration process prior to the event start time. Please visit the website at https://www.richmondhillgardensociety.org/event-5950749 \nAbout In-Person Attendance at the McConaghy Centre:  \n\nDoors to the auditorium open at 7:00 pm\nThe meeting begins promptly at 7:30 pm (earlier than usual)\nPlease bring a mug or cup if you would like hot coffee or tea\nAll attendees are encouraged to register online for inclusion in door prize draws\nMasks are not required\, but are encouraged
