Mini Eco Fair

Be sure to arrive a little early on Tuesday October 28, the same night that well-known gardendesigner Sean James will be presenting his talk. OHS has also organized a little eco-fair thatsame night.
Members who attend this in-person meeting will be able to participate in an indoor plant exchange. Bring a plant, trade a plant, so remember to bring one with you. We are also fortunate to welcome the Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library, whose presence is always popular.
Their volunteers will bring some native seeds for winter sowing and will distribute them at no charge. In addition, the City of Ottawa will be represented that night with materials available ontheir Rain Ready Ottawa program, designed to reduce rainwater runoff and prevent contamination in our local waterways. Finally, Canadensis volunteers have organized a project to grow rare and endangered native tree seeds, with several OHS members assisting them. So, we have invited skilled young native tree grower, Jethro Kastner, to join us. Jethro is fifteen years old, a student in Grade Ten, who has nailed the art and science of sowing native tree seeds. We can all learn from his wisdom.
With tables set up around the room, there should be plenty of opportunity to meet our guestsand ask questions. We hope to get started about 6:45 p.m. that night, with refreshments available asusual. Our talk begins at 7:30 p.m.
Please take time to join us in person, mix and mingle, andmeet our eco-fair participants.
