Fusion Gardening with Sean James
Fusion Gardening blends LID (rainwater handling) with xeriscaping (drought-tolerant gardening) and folds in plantings to mitigate the effects of climate change and enhance biodiversity. One of the main focus of this style is beauty and we’ll address the backbone of each of these disciplines and discuss how to do each artfully.

Transforming Landscapes in a Changing Climate with Cathy Kavassalis
We gardeners shape landscapes with our plant choices. Those choices have consequences. Escaped garden plants are the primary source of invasive plants in Canada, and that problem will only grow as our climate warms. Come and learn how we can make better choices to safeguard nature. This talk is part of the virtual speaker series, Gardening in a Changing Climate made possible by a partnership between the Stratford and Area Master Gardeners and the Stratford Public Library.
