Garden Club – September 10

Please join us for a new season of the Champlain Park Garden Club on Tuesday September 10 at 7:00 pm at the Champlain Park field house. Our guest is Ottawa Master Gardener, Odette McIntyre.

We meet the 2nd Tuesday of the month from September until June.

We have great season ahead with some really great topics, guests, tours and workshops. For example: famed naturalist Mike Runtz on wildflowers, Goth Gardening (yes that’s right) new perennials for the garden, pruning tips for shrubs and small trees, Christmas slide show of members gardens and others they admire.

Here’s an outline of Odette’s slideshow and talk for next Tuesday…

SEED SAVING – Preparing for the future

Saving your own vegetable seed makes your garden more sustainable, self-sufficient and saves you money. Learn how to save heirloom varieties, not available commercially, using veggies you harvested. Keep seed from special ornamentals, native plants, medicinal plants or perennials.

The cost to join is $25.00 plus a current Champlain Park Community Association membership. Drop in fee is $5.00 a night but if you join each meeting is only $2.50.

The Garden Club page also has general information about the club.
