Community Event - Burlington/Oakville - Catherine McGill “Aging and Gardening"
Gardeners of Burlington presents guest speakerCatherine McGill: “When the Ground gets Lower: aging and gardening”. Please come and join a friendly group of amateur gardeners interested in learning more about all aspects of gardening.
This talk will focus on the problems of physically aging as a gardener- something all gardeners can relate to; however, the discussion will be valuable and applicable to gardeners of all ages. Based on personal experience of over 30 years, Catherine will focus on gardening tips and tricks for seniors, how to work safer, getting the garden to work better for you, and tools that will help you to work more effectively.
