The Comox Valley Horticultural Society welcomes Lynda Smith, who has transformed their quarter-acre suburban lot at 1483 Hillside Ave. in Comox into year-round food production. She helps people take responsibility for their own health and food security by planting vegetable gardens, fruit shrubs and trees.
Lynda competed on “Chopped Canada” last year, spreading her passionate “Transform Lawn to Food Production” message. She owns Urban Farm Stand, stocked daily with seasonal produce from their organic gardens, baked goods, local free range eggs, bedding plants and artwork. She also builds new gardens and provides seasonal maintenance for vegetable plots in Comox and Courtenay. If you aspire to have a few veggie pots on the patio, or grow a self- sufficient food supply, she can help you reach your goals through inspiration and/or perspiration. You too can live in a vibrant environment with nutritious food a few steps from your door. This April 24 meeting is our very popular “Members Plant Sale”, so don’t miss this opportunity to find some new plant treasures at reasonable prices. Membership offers many benefits for only $20 (family couple $30). Further details can be found at www.comoxvalleyhortsociety.ca
Doors at the Courtenay Filberg open at 6:30 p.m.; meeting at 7.
