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.
