Gardening That Works Anywhere: From Edible Ornamentals to Terrariums and Raised Beds

Discover how to create beautiful, productive, and low‑maintenance gardens—whether you’re growing vegetables, crafting miniature forests under glass, or transforming poor soil into thriving raised beds.

This engaging session explores:

• Edible Ornamentals: Learn simple, effective techniques for growing vegetables through companion planting, biodiversity and everyday strategies for integrated pest management. Understand the natural origins of common crops so you can create gardens that meet their unique needs while boosting beauty and yield. Speaker: Heather Rajotte
• Terrariums: Step into the enchanting world of self‑contained ecosystems. Terrariums are living art—lush, low‑care mini landscapes that stay green year‑round and require watering only twice a year. Perfect for desks, gifts and small spaces. Speaker: Kiki Alwan
• Raised Beds That Save the Day: Even the toughest soils can become thriving gardens. Discover easy, practical methods to replace turf with rich, productive beds using smothering techniques, berms, and raised boxes. No digging out your old lawn required! Speaker: Lyanne Schlichter
