What a strange spring we are having. I’ve yet to put my down vest away. Those early mornings are still quite cool. The planting weekend has come and gone and not one tomato plant in the ground yet! I think it should be safe this weekend.
May is a very busy month. I did a pollinator presentation for Community Care for Seniors at the North Marysburgh town hall. It was nice to see some of you there. We have had a very successful plant sale in Wellington on the long weekend.
This weekend (May 25th) we are participating at FibreFest at the Picton Fairgrounds. The event runs from 9 to 4:30. We have three presentations lined up:
Hope to see you there!
Our May Meeting will be about natural dyes.
Come listen to Bay Woodyard talk about dyes and herbs.
There will be some products for sale after the presentation.
Mini Show:
· Design – Glorious Spring a design using spring flowers
· Display – Seedling in a pot (flower or vegetable)
The Meeting is on Wednesday, May 28th at 7 pm at the old fire hall.
As some of you are aware, I am a member of a community group called “Tree the County” This group has work very long and hard to get the county to adopt a more current Tree Policy for our municipality. I now sit on an ad hoc tree policy committee as a PEC Hort. Soc. rep. This committee is made up of interested community members, a developer, an urban forester, a council member and county staff. We are working towards a policy that will not only preserve our existing canopy but increase the number of trees planted in the county (we are not talking about the junipers). At this point, everyone realizes the impact of not having mature trees to help offset the issue of climate change. We hope to present our recommendation to council before summer ends.
I would like to recommend that the county work with community groups and interested individuals in planting more trees. As such, I would like to know if any of you would be interested in an “Adopt a Tree” program. This would mean that the county would plant a tree and you would commit to care for it in the first year or two till it got established (Mostly watering and weeding). Please send me an email if you’re interested or would like more information: lisefbois@gmail.com
