Welcome to Gardening Kingston!

Time of change is always in the air. We embrace it and adjust. September has arrived.

The colours in the garden change to reflect the warming sunsets and golden leaves of fall and brings a different kind of freshness and new life for us to enjoy, don’t you think?

It is also the beginning of our new year when we are filled with enthusiasm to reconnect and hear about your summer adventures.  Visiting with fellow gardeners is a great way to gain insight into their strategies for a manageable garden. Did you know: Sprinkling Epsom salts around the base of tomato plants help to produce larger tastier yields? Monarch butterflies require a few days after hatching to get their wing strength?  Check out our bi-monthly newsletter “The Columbine” for more gardening tips and society updates.

Your curiosity has lead you to explore what we have to offer! Check out our upcoming list of monthly guest speakers under the subtitle “Meetings” as well as the activities listed under “Events” like our monthly Flower, Veggies and Design competitions.  Why not consider dropping in for a visit and experience the benefits of sharing with others in their joy of gardening. No experience required. Visit “Membership” to see some of the benefits of becoming a member as you receive discounts at local garden centres and nurseries.

Share in the experience. Continue to harvest the fruits and veggies from your garden. Enjoy the delightful friends of nature fluttering by. Cherish.  See you soon.

Happy gardening in the Limestone City.

Jean Barna, President
