SUMMARY:MGAA:  Sexual Pollination with Janet Melrose
DESCRIPTION:Seeds are Sexy!\n\n\nSeeds are really just sexual propagation\, but they are ‘sexy’\, as in ‘the rage’\, these days. Forget buying seedlings from the stores….we can grow our own. \nThis talk will focus on: the botany of seeds; techniques for breaking dormancy; sowing and growing to seedling stage indoors and outside; savings seeds and storage. We will be discussing both annual and perennial seeds; heirloom\, open pollinated\, hybrid\, GM and GE seeds; and the need to rebuild the diversity of species at the local and international level. \n\n\n\nJanet Melrose is ‘Calgary’s Cottage Gardener’- Garden consultant\, coach\, educator and Horticultural Therapist. Her motto is ‘Grow\, Nurture\, and Bloom’. \nShe shares her passion for gardening and knowledge through workshops and writing for ‘The Gardener for Cold Climates’ and ‘Calgary Gardening’ magazines\, and now co-author with Sheryl Normandeau for the Guides for Prairie Gardeners series of books. \n\n\n\nTickets\n

SUMMARY:MGAA: Insect Pests and Their Natural Enemies
DESCRIPTION:Insect Pests and Their Natural Enemies with Scott Meer\, \nInsect pests can cause havoc on farmers crops and urban gardens. In the past the common approach has been to reach for insecticides but increasingly both farmers and urban gardeners have been partnering with mother nature to help with control. Natural enemies of insects can be our friends but how effective are they and how do we work with them? Lets take a tour of the world of natural enemies and discover the possibilities. \nThis session will be recorded and available to ticket holders for 1 week following the presenation. \nScott received his BSc in Agriculture from the University of Alberta in 1982 and MSc in Entomology (Biological Control of Wheat Stem Sawfly) from Montana State University in 2002. Scott has served the agriculture industry as a District Agriculturist\, Regional Conservation Coordinator\, Crop Specialist and Provincial Entomologist. After 35 years of public service\, Scott retired and started a private consulting practice (Mayland Ag Consulting) and now works one on one with horticultural and broad acre producers\, providing planning\, scouting and problem-solving advice. In his spare time\, Scott is an avid gardener\, cross country skier and sailor. \n Tickets
