Building back-yard ponds and waterfalls, tree and shrub pruning, and intensive vegetable gardening will be the featured topics of Guelph and Wellington County Master Gardeners' 15th annual "A Day in the Garden" event.
The event takes place Feb. 27 at Victoria Park East Golf Club from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. It aims to give gardeners of all abilities a head start on the spring season and an escape from the winter blahs, a news release said.
It will feature three expert speakers offering insights on topics around the theme of "Gardening with a Purpose." Master gardener Robert Pavlis will offer tips for building natural-looking back-yard water features; Sean Fox, assistant manager of the University of Guelph Arboretum, will answer the why's and how's of pruning common garden trees and shrubs; and Guelph Centre for Urban Organic Farming co-ordinator Martha Gay Scroggins will discuss how to achieve high vegetable yields from small spaces.
