Arboretum Workshop Series Gardening Fundamentals

Submitted by jscarrow on February 26th, 2016 10:33 AM

Wednesdays, March 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 and April 6, 2016 - 7:00 - 9:30 p.m. - Gardening Fundamentals is a series of courses designed for both the beginner and experienced gardener. Course material covers basic information to provide a good grounding and then goes on to introduce advanced topics that are normally not found in gardening books.  The presenter has over 35 years of gardening experience, most of it in the Guelph area.

Each course is approximately 2.5 hours in length and is designed to be independent of each other allowing you to take only the courses that are of interest to you. The full set of 6 courses will give you a very solid understanding of Gardening Fundamentals. At the end of the courses you will be able to plant and maintain the best garden on your block. You will also have an opportunity to have all of your gardening questions answered by local Master Gardeners. Guest Instructor: Robert Pavlis. Early Bird Fee: $70 for all six evenings (register on-line) or $15 at the door per evening (this at the door fee includes tax). Registration deadline: Monday, February 29.  This workshop will be run at The OAC Centennial Arboretum Centre.
