Gary got his PhD in biology from Texas A&M & is a retired biologist having worked for 30 years in environmental science. He’s been a Master Gardener for 20 years. He & his wife Dianne look after an acre of property on a hill overlooking the city. Gary is a Past Director on the board of the Master Gardeners of Ontario. Dianne & Gary were Editors of the Master Gardeners of Ontario Newsletter for several years. Both are past presidents of Horticultural Societies. A few years ago Dianne & Gary were awarded the Silver Medal from the OHA.
Over the years Dianne & Gary’s garden has changed to suit their tastes & capabilities. Very few gardens outlive their gardeners, so it is best to enjoy the activity of gardening rather than trying to create a finished garden.
Gary is going to share with you some new science on how plants function with respect to how they get their nutrients and what you can do (or perhaps not do) to allow them to thrive.
ALL ARE WELCOME! NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!
