We're excited and fortunate to be hosting Paul Zammit again!
You may be thinking of scaling back an existing mature garden or embarking on new gardening adventures in a small townhouse garden – or even on a condo balcony. Either way, there are ways to make the most of your small garden space. Paul Zammit brings his trademark energy, passion and deep knowledge to the OHS this month with tips, tricks and design concepts you can use to maximize the impact of your small-space garden.
Please join us for a presentation from this well known and very popular speaker! The event is free for OHS members with a membership card valid for 2024-25 (purchase or renew now!), and $10 at the door for non-members. Come early to be sure to get a seat. OHS announcements at 7:00 pm followed by refreshments, with Paul's talk to begin at 7:30 pm.
