So many tempting products await you at this year’s expanded
Marketplace that we’ve organized help. Landscape
Ontario’s Green for Life initiative is offering a
free parcel check service, conveniently located in Room 830 on the
800 Level, and Rent-a-Son
has come to your rescue with a free delivery service that will help
get your purchases to the car. With your parcels safely out of the
way, you can spend a carefree day enjoying the gardens, lectures and
exhibits. Arrange your delivery through the Marketplace vendor where
you make your purchase. Although these services are free, donations
to Canada Blooms are appreciated. |

Rototilling your garden
actually destroys soil structure. Not only does it kill worms but
also, other members of the soil food web are displaced and the fungal
network that builds soil structure is disrupted. When planting, dig
as little as possible and only in the immediate area. When adding
organic matter, lay it on the surface and allow the soil food web
organisms to do the mixing. Jeff Lowenfels offers these and other
tips on Wednesday, March 18 at 3:30 p.m. as part of the RBC
Speaker Series. |
