Event Details
Claire Leduc from the Master Gardeners of Ottawa-Carleton joins the Kanata-March Horticultural Society’s May meeting to discuss the use and versatility of annual plants and flowers in our gardens. From small and sweet to big and bold, annuals with their wide variety of shapes and colours can add personality and character to any garden. Many of them play the useful role of attracting pollinators while others offer a unique twist to your dinner plate, not to mention their role in making stunning containers and baskets.
The presentation will help you feel confident in adding and caring for a wide range of annuals in your garden!
This in-person meeting will be held at the Old Town Hall, 821 March Rd (laneway entrance for the Old Town Hall is on Klondike Rd, across from Shopper’s Drug Mart), 7:30 pm – 9 pm (doors open at 7:15 pm). Non-members are always welcome for a visitor’s fee of $5 or become a member and enjoy our full 2025 program for $20.
