Public Notices/Announcements - Niagara - Valentine's Day Sip & Paint @ GPAG!
A dinner date? The movies? Netflix at home? Been there done that!
It's time to get more creative this Valentine's Day...
The love will be pouring in at the Grimsby Public Art Gallery! Sip, snack, and paint the night away with your Valentine (or better yet, you and your single besties!) as our instructor guides you through re-creating Gustav Klimt’s romantic masterpiece, The Kiss. Whether you’re an art pro or have never painted in your life, you’ll leave this Sip & Paint evening with a renewed passion for art and your own original masterpiece that is *chef’s kiss*.
All materials are provided, just bring a smock or clothes you don’t mind getting paint on… making a masterpiece can get a bit messy!
Your ticket includes your first drink! Wine, beer, and non-alcoholic options are available for purchase the rest of your evening.
Munchies are on us with our open charcuterie bar. There's nothing like the beauty of a delicious charcuterie to keep the creative mind fed.

Community Event - Burlington/Oakville - March 12, Sean James - An Appetite for Gardening
Gardeners of Burlington presents guest speaker, Sean James: “An appetite for gardening –
incorporating edibles. Please come and join a friendly group of amateur gardeners interested
in learning more about all aspects of gardening.
This talk will focus on adding vegetables throughout your ornamental garden. Many home
gardeners (but, sadly few professional landscapers/designers) are looking to grow more of
their own food, but why relegate edible plants to the back corner, punishing them like
they’ve misbehaved? “Go sit in the corner. Think about what you’ve done!” Many fruits and
veggies are beautiful and offer wonderful texture and colour; think about eggplant, rhubarb
and kale! Growing vines (beans, squash, tomatoes) on trellises and espaliering fruit trees can
also be a great way to use vertical surfaces to embiggen your landscape and fill the pantry at
the same time! We’ll discuss all the options!
Sean owns ‘Sean James Consulting & Design’. Named by Landscape Ontario as 2020 and 2021’s
Garden Communicator of the Year, gardening has been Sean James’ passion and profession for
over 40 years. A graduate of Niagara Parks School of Horticulture, a Master Gardener, writer,
and teacher, Sean focuses on eco-gardening techniques. He has spoken at events from the
Maritimes to Seattle and landscaped from Switzerland to California. Sean had the honour of
being part of creating the new Ontario Landscape Tree Planting Guide, the Grow-Me-Instead
guide, the Ontario Horticultural Apprenticeship Curriculum, the national Red Seal
Occupational Standard, and the Master Gardeners Reference Manual. He has chaired the
Environmental Stewardship Committee for Landscape Ontario and the Environmental
Committee for the Perennial Plant Association and been featured on radio and television,
including filling in for Paul Zammit occasionally on CBC’s ‘The Gardening Show’.
