It’s Garden Time! 

Le jardinage en contentants est un moyen d’avoir un jardin même si vous avez peu d’espace (p.ex. sur un balcon).  Il est aussi une façon de faire pousser des annuelles, des herbes, des légumes et des plantes d’intérieur de façon qu’ils pourraient être déplacés facilement dans votre espace à l’extérieur.   Toutefois, pour avoir du succès avec cette mode de jardinage il faut suivre quelques pratiques et prendre en consideration quelques règles.  Joignez-vous à Claire McCaughey, Maître Jardinier pour cet atelier en français  où Claire discutera le choix de plantes, les types de contenants, le terrau pour les contenants, fertilisation, les ravageurs et maladies des plantes, et quoi faire avec votre jardin en contenants à la fin de la saison.

À propos de Claire McCaughey

Claire a toujours aimé le jardinage depuis son enfance en Irlande.  Sa grande-mère avait un grand jardin sauvage. Il y a six ans, elle s’est mis à étudier formellement l’horticulture et l’aménagement de paysage dans les programmes de l’Université de Guelph.  Elle s’est joint à Master Gardeners d’Ottawa en 2015 et elle a reçu son certification comme Maître-Jardinier en 2018.  Elle a aussi une petite entreprise de jardinage. Elle aime beaucoup aider les gens à résoudre les problèmes et défis du jardin et à créer des beaux jardins.   Parmi ses intérêts courants sont les plantes indigènes et les jardins de plantes comestibles. 

“Thugs Bullies and Sneaks” with Rebecca Last, Master Gardener

This talk addresses the issue of selecting the right plant for the right location. It offers a review of plants to be wary of – those that have thuggish tendencies or other unfortunate outcomes when improperly sited.

All meetings start at 7:30 pm. This year’s programs will be presented virtually by Zoom. Members will be sent a link to the Zoom meeting. Non-members can email pakenhamhort@gmail to receive the link. All are welcome 

Whether it’s yoga, meditating, or just relaxing with a good book about gardens or gardening, peaceful time in the garden is good for your soul.
