On Thursday, April 26 the
Wawanosh Gardening Club went to
Belgrave Co-op to listen to a
gardening specialist, Nancy McPhee.
She spoke about container gardening
and its many benefits.
To begin the program she talked
about choosing the right container.
There are many containers to choose
from, such as plastic, cement and
clay. The one thing that all containers
must have is good drainage. This can
be done by drilling holes in the
bottom. Ms. McPhee demonstrated
how to make good soil mixtures and
gave examples of fertilizers to use.
She said when planting, colourful
is the way to go. Do not worry about
which colours go together as it will
always look wonderful.
The members learned that mixing
herbs with flowers both looks and
smells great.
Container gardens can be placed in
a boring part of a garden, along the
deck of a house, and in the shady
spots. Hanging pots should be placed
at eye level so everyone can see
them. Hanging pots can come in a
variety of materials.
Refreshments were enjoyed by the
group. The club also had a chance to
look at the interesting items in the
gardening centre such as fountains,
pots, plants, gardening accessories
and much more.
There were 10 1/2 tables of shoot
in play on Friday, April 27 in the
Belgrave Community Centre.
The winners were: high pink card,
Louise Bosman; second high pink
card, Kay McCormick; most shoots,
Freda Scott; high white card, Gord
Bosman; second high white, Ron
Taylor; most shoots, Mary Wallace.
The next shoot is Friday, May 11
at 1:30 p.m.
National Service
National Service Dogs were on tour April 25 in Wingham,
with this, a quick stop-in to Sacred Heart School to
introduce and educate the students as to how a National
Service Dog provides companionship to autistic children
and how he is trained. The dogs then stopped by the
Knights of Columbus hall later that night where a fundraiser
for NSD was held. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
