SUMMARY:FREE - Fruits for Small Gardens\, by Lee Reich
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Guelph Gardening Seminars (https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/guelph-garden-seminars-116969) \nAbout this event \n\n\nA link for this event will be sent out by email a couple of days before the event. \nGardens are smaller these days\, but a small garden is no impediment to fruit growing. Lowbush blueberries\, currants\, gooseberries\, and super dwarf apples are among the fruits that visually and proportionally fit well into small gardens. This lecture will present the fruits and growing techniques needed to reap delectable rewards from spaces as small as a balcony to as “large” as a small suburban yard. \nPresented by Lee Reich\, a renowned author and scientist who has a knack of simplifying gardening so anyone can do it. \nLee Reich\, PhD\, who has worked in agricultural research with the USDA and Cornell University\, is a writer and a farmdener (more than a gardener\, less than a farmer). In addition to providing a year ’round harvest of fruits and vegetables\, his farmden provides a testing ground for innovative techniques in soil care\, pruning\, and growing fruits and vegetables. For more about his online and live workshops\, his books\, and other work\, see www.leereich.com \nLee has published the following books: \nThe Ever Curious Gardener: Using a Little Natural Science for a Much Better Garden \nA Northeast Gardener’s Year \nThe Pruning Book \nWeedless Gardening \nUncommon Fruits for every Garden \nLandscaping with Fruit \nGrow Fruit Naturally
