SUMMARY:MGAA: Bulb Planting Workshop with Elaine Rude
DESCRIPTION:Full –  See Sept 15th for next Class. \nFall is the time to plant bulbs for a super show come spring  and into summer.\nBulbs are one of the easiest types of plants to grow in our climate.  Planted while the soil is still warm they send out roots before the ground freezes awaiting warmer days. \nThis talk will teach you what you need to be successful with planting bulbs.  We will look at the different types of bulbs\, how each differs from the others and how to properly meet their care needs. \nWhile we will cover the more familiar types such as tulips and daffodils we will also delve into some of the more unusual ones that given the right conditions will thrive in our climate. \nThis is a Free event but Please sign up on our main page (helps us know how much space and chairs needed).

SUMMARY:C.R.A.G.S.: Lorne Kaban from the Alberta Regional Lily Society
DESCRIPTION:Lorne Kaban from the Alberta Regional Lily Society talks about how be became interested in Lilies and what he has learned about them. \nLocation: This will be a hybrid talk on zoom and at the Lakeview Community Association Hall 6110 – 34th Street SW. Parking is free. \nFree for members  — Non-members register at EventBrite: https:www.eventbrite.ca/organizations/events \nSpeaker: \nLorne\, has been a lifelong gardener that started out under the tutelage of his Baba and Mother in a vegetable garden on the family farm. Through out his life he has always had a few lilies in his garden. \nAbout 15 years ago\, while living in NE Alberta he heard about a farmer north of Vermilion that grew and sold lilies. When he visited Fred Fellner’s farm\, Lorne was absolutely infected with “lilyitis”. The four acre plot of seedling lilies that ranged in height from 2-7’ and covered the full spectrum of colours in the white\, yellow\, pink\, red\, and multicoloured range\, as well as were spotted\, no spots\, frosted\, and striped\, totally enamoured him. He never looked back and has been on a journey of learning\, growing\, a little hybridizing\, and promoting lilies ever since. \nHe became involved with the Alberta Regional Lily Society\, shortly after he met Fred\, and then joined the North American Lily Society a couple years later. Through both groups he has met and been mentored by folks\, many of who are now lifelong friends\, from across the globe. Lorne is the current President of both Societies and is a champion of growing lilies. He grows over 200 hundred varieties of lilies in his home garden in St Albert and is excited to share some of his knowledge with you and maybe even a couple of tips on how to manage the dread red Lily beetle!
