The Huntsville Horticultural Society will host speaker Sean James as part of their 100th Anniversary Celebration. Named by Landscape Ontario as 2020 & 2021’s Garden Communicator of the Year, gardening has been Sean James’ passion and profession for almost 40 years. A graduate of Niagara Parks School of Horticulture, a Master Gardener, writer, and teacher. He has spoken at events from the Maritimes to Seattle and landscaped from Nova Scotia 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 fills in for Paul Zammit occasionally on CBC’s ‘The Gardening Show’

His topic is entitled An Appetite for Gardening: Incorporating Edibles into a Traditional Landscape. Many home gardeners 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! The presentation will also include edible native plants and foraging too. We’ll discuss all options! Question period to follow.

Cake and refreshments served following the presentation.

Gardening for birds promotes the creation of nature-friendly
gardens, benefiting birds and other wildlife. While providing birds with food, water,
shelter and a place to raise their young, your garden will become more beautiful and
eco-friendlier.
