SUMMARY:August General Meeting: "Preserving the Harvest" with Karen Hollingshead
DESCRIPTION:Late summer is a great time to learn how to preserve the bounty produced from our gardens. Tonight’s speaker\, Karen Hollingshead\, will cover techniques such as dehydrating\, freezing\, preserving and canning; and will share some recipes that can be applied to our own harvested edibles. \nIf you were ever to experience a food shortage\, Karen Hollingshead would be the perfect next door neighbor. With the help of her dehydrator\, steam juicer\, canners\, freeze dryer and vacuum sealer\, her densely planted 800-square-foot garden feeds not only herself and her husband Steve\, but also both sets of parents.\nKaren’s fascination with gardening and preserving was sparked by childhood visits to her Danish grandparents’ home in North Toronto where she enthusiastically helped with all of the annual preserving rituals. A past-president of the Bolton and District Horticultural Society\, Karen is passionate about sharing the many valuable skill-sets of self-reliance that are quickly being forgotten. For more homesteading hints\, Karen invites you to follow her on Instagram @hilltop.hygge.homestead.   \nTonight’s guest speaker is planning to attend the meeting in-person. Should inclement weather prevent her from traveling to Richmond Hill\, a live video broadcast of her remote participation will be projected onto a large screen in the auditorium. \nSecond Flower Show of 2025 \nIn-person meeting attendees are invited to enjoy the Summer and Rose Flower Show following tonight’s guest speaker presentation.\nPlease consider exhibiting specimens from your own garden (More info.). Entries need to arrive by 6:15 pm and new participants should contact our Flower Show Director for support and an exhibitor number. \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 our website at https://richmondhillgardensociety.org/event-6035310 \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\nPlease bring a mug or cup if you would like hot coffee or tea\nMasks are not required\, but are encouraged

SUMMARY:September General Meeting: Guest Speaker Claudette Sims\, "A Gardening Conundrum
DESCRIPTION:September General Meeting: Guest Speaker Claudette Sims\, “A Gardening Conundrum: Why are Invasive Plants Sold in Nurseries?”\nInvasive plants are considered by many to be a threat to biodiversity\, human health\, and our economy. And\, they threaten native plants\, insects\, animals\, and our forests. So why are they sold in nurseries? Tonight’s speaker says that the Master Gardeners of Ontario receive so many questions on this subject that they decided to investigate. After months of research\, Claudette Sims has some surprising answers to share with us. But more importantly\, she has suggestions for moving forward. \nClaudette Sims joined the Master Gardeners of Ontario in 2004 and served as President for six years. She was a regular panelist and lead on the weekly CBC radio online garden chat for many years and also subbed in for Ed Lawrence on the radio\, which she says was a thrilling but scary experience. Claudette is currently Administrator for the very successful Master Gardeners of Ontario Facebook Group which is nearing 58\,000 members\, featuring a great team of Master Gardeners who provide gardening advice for the public.  Along with Cathy Kavassalis\, Claudette is working to further the work of the Canadian Coalition for Invasive Plant Regulation (CCIPR) to stop the sale of high-risk invasive plants that harm biodiversity. Claudette’s most recent passion continues to be adding larval host plants for butterflies and specific native plants for specialist bees.   \nTonight’s guest speaker is planning to attend the meeting remotely\, via Zoom.  A live video broadcast of her remote participation will be projected onto a large screen in the auditorium. \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. Please visit https://www.richmondhillgardensociety.org/event-6035318 for more information. \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. \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\nPlease bring a mug or cup if you would like hot coffee or tea\nMasks are not required\, but are encouraged

SUMMARY:Credit Valley Horticultural Society September Meeting
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to welcome back Kevin Kavanagh who will be speaking to us on Plant Section That’s for the Birds. \nKevin’s presentation will introduce simple design principles that can enhance the attractiveness of the garden landscape for birds in all seasons. Important bird friendly features such as companion plantings that help provide shelter from predators and inclement winter\, incorporation of small water features\, use of eco-regionally appropriate native plant species for enhancing food variety through the seasons and creation of vertical structure in the garden will be some of the topics discussed. \nKevin Kavanagh is the owner of South Coast Gardens and Consulting nestled along central Lake Erie in the heart of Ontario’s Carolinian Forest Region. \nAlthough an avid gardener (and birder) for much of his life\, Kevin spent most of his early career in the field of nature conservation working with national organizations such as World Wildlife Fund Canada and Nature Conservancy Canada to help develop their stewardship and habitat protection programs. He currently assists Birds Canada with their ‘Gardening for Birds’ initiative and as a member of the Grand Erie Master Gardeners coordinates their Gardening for Nature program. \n  \n
