Upcoming Seminars and Talks

Ok, in between trying to finish this next book and my magazine deadlines, I'm also trying to get my 2013 seminars and lectures ready.. I feel like I still have a cushion of time, but I have just realized that I am wrong!! I've given a few talks already, but the lecture season really kicks off next Saturday with my talk in Fall River.. As with 2012, I'll be traveling around Canada and the US here and there for various events and thought I should share a few of these with you in case you're nearby and can drop in to say 'hi'! :)

Saturday February 23 from 1 to 2:30 - Fall River, NS. This will be a fun talk on the basics of veggie gardening that covers many techniques and favourite crops. I'll also discuss growing crops in pots and spotlight some of my top aromatic herbs. Register by calling 860-4570 or visiting www.halifax.ca/rec. 

Monday Feb 25 from 2 to 3 pm - Basin Gardeners Garden Club - I'll tackle one of my favourite topics - obviously! - Year Round Veggie Gardening. Plenty of ideas and inspiration for growing food year round with an emphasis on my season extenders and cold season crops. Just click on the link for more information.

Friday March 15 - 2 pm - Canada Blooms - I'm heading back to Canada Blooms! I had a blast last year (even though I was sick with a respiratory infection) so fingers crossed for good health this year. I'll be sharing my updated talk on growing food year round with plenty of photos and tips one extending the season. Hope to see you there!
