Virtual Gardening Series: Bulbs – An Introduction
Channel: Vancouver Island Regional Library
Date: 2021-11-24

This talk will introduce you to the group of low maintenance perennials we call bulbs, and will show you how they can turn your home into a 12-month feast of blooms. We cover different kinds of bulbs, for different seasons and garden spaces.

In her 25th year as Master Gardener, Jo-Ann Canning has been a home orchard, ornamental plant enthusiast and urban food gardener for over 45 years. Her gardens have taught her how to follow Nature’s rules in climates as diverse as Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the American Southwest, Nova Scotia, and the UK. As part of her volunteer work Jo has piloted community projects in integrated pest management, invasive species control, and urban small space gardening of vegetables, fruit and herbs for sustainability and food security. Her articles and photographs have appeared on the MGABC’s website, in local and international gardening newsletters, and magazines. She is also one of the chapter’s mentors, helping our chapter to grow new members.
