by Dale Odorizzi, Lanark County Master Gardeners

Lanark County Master Gardeners invites you to join us at our Open House on August 11 from 2-4 pm at Rock Wall Gardens as we celebrate 25 Years of providing gardening advice in Lanark County. Come to view gardening demos, ask questions, join our group or just to say hello.

The Master Gardener program is an international organization that began in 1972. It now operates in 45 states and across Canada. A Master Gardener is a trained volunteer who has completed the required educational component (college horticultural courses) and volunteer time. Today, we deliver Horticultural Courses at Algonquin College, answer questions on line (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), via telephone and live at advice clinics or wherever we meet people. We also have a website www.lanarkmastergardeners.mgoi,ca and you can follow us on Twitter @MGOI.

Our demonstrations will include:

Collecting and storing Seeds

Building a Willow Trellis

Getting your Amaryllis to Rebloom

Dividing Perennials

Flower Arranging—Quick and Easy

Our Open House on Saturday August 11 runs from 2-4, rain or shine at Rock Wall Gardens 995 Code Road, just off Highway 7 about 7 miles east of Perth. For detailed directions visit http://www.rockwallgardens.com/contact.html . Hope you can join us for demos and desserts all at no charge.
