Time:07:30pm to 09:30pm
Description:Speaker: Marjorie Mason Topic: Growing Edibles - Making your Garden a Feast for your Plate as well as your Eyes Speaker Bio: Marjorie Mason is an enthusiastic gardener who enjoys sharing her ideas with others. She started gardening at a very early age on her parent’s market garden farm near Peterborough. After a career as a teacher, she worked for 19 years at Pine Ridge Garden Gallery where she amassed a collection of over 500 different varieties of Pelargoniums. In 1987, Marjorie purchased a property near Uxbridge and discovered the soil for the “Garden of Her Dreams” was pure sand and the well only 13’ deep! Of necessity, Marjorie learned the techniques of Xeriscaping – the art of gardening with less water. In fact, one of her gardens is never watered. This two acre property is now Mason House Gardens – a retail plant centre and display garden. Plants are the main focus with collections of perennials, shrubs, bulbs and heather, as well as annuals, tropicals and an ornamental vegetable garden. Marjorie lectures across Canada and the U.S. on a wide variety of topics. In addition to authoring “Amazing Annuals”, she has written articles for Canadian Living, Canadian Gardening, Harrowsmith, Canadian Wildlife Federation, and Landscape Ontario magazines. She was given the Garden Communicator of the Year Award by Landscape Ontario. Marjorie hosts “Let’s Get Growing” every Saturday morning from 9-10am on 1580 CKDO and 107.7 FM.
