As a Senior Horticulturalist with the University of Alberta Botanic Garden\, Emily Neis is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Aga Khan Garden and the Patrick Seymour Alpine Garden. She grows the plants for the UABG’s annuals displays. Throughout her horticultural career Emily has designed floral displays and she has been a Communities in Bloom judge for six years. \nEmily will give us a step-by-step guide to creating floral displays for home gardens and community projects. Starting with design ideas and eye-catching colour combinations\, we’ll learn her tips for outstanding plants to use\, best planting practices\, and summer care for all season colour. Emily’s favourite part of the year is planting the annuals and seeing the displays develop over the season. \nSimple Solutions with Garden Netting. Sandra Rosler manages the family business\, GRDNetting Solutions\, located in Airdrie. \nUrban or rural\, large or small\, and whatever crops you grow- all of our gardens are vulnerable to various types of damage. Have you ever watched in disbelief while hail destroys your vegetables? High winds\, blazing sun\, hungry birds\, foraging deer\, and voracious insects can all take a toll on your garden. \nSandra will show us innovative ways to use garden netting to shield\, shade\, and protect our gardens from each of these hazards. \nEcovision Club- Canada’s Greenest School.
