Grimsby Garden Club Meeting Monday Oct 28 2019
We meet on the last Monday of the month and on October 28th.We are pleased to welcome speaker Kenneth Brown on the topic There are no houseplants.
Ken uses his years of experience in the indoor landscaping business to illustrate that a knowledge of a plant’s natural habitat, (and that’s never indoors,) is beneficial when trying to make that plant thrive, or at least survive, in our homes. Understanding the role of light and water and the recognizing a variety of pests are the essential elements which Ken illustrates to help his audience become happier indoor plant parents.

Bird Friendly Coffee Nesting Tonight!
Station 1 invites you to learn more about how we are connected to coffee growing in Latin America. Did you know that Grimsby birds winter there? In the past in Latin America, coffee has been heavily sprayed and fertilized with synthetic fertilizers. Sprawling massive fields stretch out for miles. While this created high coffee yields it was also devastated the environment and wildlife. Returning to organic methods and going coffee in concert with a rainforest canopy have resulted in beans with a deeper and richer flavour.
And how does my Grimsby garden relate to coffee growing? The answer is simple: many of the birds who live in Latin America in the winter are migratory, also live here in the summer. These include orioles, tanagers, and warblers. What about hummingbirds? The Indigo bunting?
The Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center in Washington, D.C has identified ecologically sustainable farming methods that provide a welcome habitat for birds. They developed certification standards for making bird-friendly coffee. One can differentiate between shade-grown, organic, fair-trade and bird-friendly.
Marilyn Cornwell will help you get started with ten 'super trees' native to our area, and 12 'native perennial flowers' for your gardens.
