SUMMARY:March General Meeting: Guest Speaker Dave McCulloch\, "Live Well\, Garden Better"
DESCRIPTION:As we age\, we often see decreasing physical ability (e.g.\, lifting and balancing) which can reduce and restrict our ability to carry out certain gardening activities. An older gardener might ask\, “When did the decline begin?” A younger gardener might ask\, “Is the decline inevitable?” And\, as our winter slumber ends\, most gardeners should be asking\, “How can I physically prepare for all the tasks of the gardening season?” Dave will answer these questions while discussing prevention and risk reduction strategies\, so we can live well\, garden better\, and garden longer\, by preventing the preventable and risk managing the rest. \nRichmond Hill Garden and Horticultural Society member David McCulloch is a certified personal trainer and an avid gardener. Following 34 years as a meteorologist\, he became a personal trainer in 2013 to help others reach their health and fitness goals and to compliment his skills as a karate instructor. He quickly focused on working with the 50+ demographic and began specializing in working with populations such as those with low back pain\, arthritis\, and osteoporosis. Dave and his wife\, Heather Auld\, also a meteorologist\, focus their gardening efforts on adding native species and implementing weather and climate smart gardening practices. Their garden is considered a popular\, “must visit” stop on local Garden Tours. \nTonight’s guest speaker is a resident of Richmond Hill and will be participating in-person. \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-6492557 for more information. \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
