Event Details
Gardeners of Burlington presents guest speakerCatherine
McGill: “When the
Ground gets Lower: aging and gardening”. Please come and join a friendly
group of amateur gardeners interested in learning more about all aspects of
gardening.
This
talk will focus on the problems of physically aging as a gardener- something
all gardeners can relate to; however, the discussion will be valuable and
applicable to gardeners of all ages.
Based on personal experience of over 30 years, Catherine will focus on
gardening tips and tricks for seniors, how to work safer, getting the garden to
work better for you, and tools that will help you to work more effectively.
Catherine
McGill, after a two decade-long career as a professional Chef, Blacksmith,
Horse Trainer, and Riding Instructor, but her passion for gardening led her to
create her own garden maintenance company.
With over forty years in the business, she is a highly experienced
gardener with many senior clients. Her
horticultural knowledge extends to being a Horticultural and Design judge. Catherine is also very active as a volunteer
in the field of gardening having been the OHA Director of District 6 and was a
Board member Representative for the OHA Southwest region. She continues to volunteer as an
administrator on gardening Facebook pages, for GardenOntario, District 6 and
the Haldimand Horticultural Society. Her
motto in life is: if you can’t see the
humour in what you are doing, then why
are you doing it?
