SUMMARY:The New York High Line Park
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will provide a very interesting overview of what Mary Crawford discovered during her visit to New York’s High Line Park.  You will learn about the background of the park\, its design and the creative use of plants and other vegetation in its unique design and beautiful gardens. Mary will share some inspirational photos of the High Line Park and behind the scene information about the construction and development of the park’s very unusual and beautiful gardens. \nAs a member of the Master Gardeners of Ottawa-Carleton since 2020\, Mary Crawford enjoys speaking to groups and writing articles for the Master Gardeners’ Trowel Talk newsletter. She has loved gardening and traveling for as long as she can remember\, likely her father’s doing. When Mary’s like-minded sister started chatting about the High Line Park in New York City\, they hatched an idea for a trip together with some major garden inspiration. They obtained permission to do a photo shoot at the High Line in the fall of 2023 and Mary is very happy to share her findings.

SUMMARY:Growing organic vegetables: a passion to heal the land and the body
DESCRIPTION:In his presentation\, Jonathan will talk about growing organic vegetables from March to December. If you are curious about how this can be accomplished in our Ottawa climate without heated greenhouses\, this presentation will inspire \nyou. Jonathan is passionate about providing people with delicious organic vegetables\, but also loves to encourage others to grow great food on their own. \nHe will share some of the best tips and tricks of the trade\, and maybe even some of his best kept secrets. \nJonathan Bruderlein came to Ottawa after years of experience operating an organic farm in the Montreal area  followed by a sabbatical where he\, his wife Julianne and young son visited and connected with many other organic farmers across North America.  \nJonathan came to farming after deciding that medical school wasn’t for him\, and that agronomy is where he could have a bigger impact on the lives of other people. He and his family are now in their 5th year operating Ottawa Farm Fresh that they started with the idea of building a community-supported farm\, where members benefit from fresh organically grown vegetables\, get a chance to be involved in community celebrations and harvesting activities. For Jonathan\, farming is more than a career\, it’s a lifestyle.

SUMMARY:Monthly Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Whitewater Gardeners invites you to join us on February 22nd 2025 for our monthly assembly! \n\nVictoria grew up on her family farm. For over 25 years\, her parents\, Dennis and Margaret grew and sold countless annuals\, perennials\, trees and shrubs to plant lovers across the Ottawa Valley. Dacre Nursery was a hive of activity every season. Victoria spent many hours after school and in the summer transplanting\, watering\, and helping customers. The farm took a well deserved rest around 2012. \nIn 2021\, her husband Sam and herself moved back to the farm. She had known for years that she wanted to return to agriculture in some form. When she began to learn more about the expanding domestic cut flower industry in Canada\, starting a flower farm seemed like a perfect fit. Welcome Mad Valley Flower Farm. \n\nWhether you are a master or new to the gardening world Whitewater Gardeners is for you. \nStick around after our speaker to discuss new and exciting events. Contribute your ideas and opinions and join our growing Society.

SUMMARY:Design and Biodiversity Considerations in Your Outdoor Space
