If you are at the North Gloucester branch of the Ottawa Public Library, have a peek at the pollinator garden tended by GHS member Maria Sievers. It's glorious! Thank you Maria!

What a wonderful day for the annual Garden Sharing Tour at GHS! Every year gardeners share their experience, challenges, successes and....challenges. There were many notable strategies for fending off hungry rabbits and distracting insects from food crops. We all had a chance to learn and maybe get ideas on what else to try in our own gardens. Thank you to all who turned out. The fierce weather held back until we were done.
