7:15pm – 9:00pm: Topic: Permaculture for Ornamental Gardeners
Speaker: Bethany Couture, Garden Alchemist

Be introduced to how permaculture can help you create lower maintenance, lower input and extra beautiful ornamental gardens. I will share how to make more sustainable plant choices, manage soil health, conserve water and attract beneficial wildlife to help turn your garden into an oasis. This talk hopes to inspire you to look at your garden as an ecosystem and to help you cultivate a more harmonious relationship between your garden and the surrounding environment.

Speaker Bio:

She is the permaculture instructor at the Pacific Horticulture College and the lead steward of the public permaculture garden at the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific.
