The Plot Thickens Garden Club Lecture Series – Wednesday April 24th @ 6:30pm.  Our guest speaker will be Kara Matthews, Horticulturist at Coutts Centre near Nanton held in the Library 6:30 to 8:30pm.  When it comes to companion planting, it can be difficult to remember who likes who. Nobody wants to live next to someone who makes their life difficult.  Kara discovered a wonderful online tool that anyone can use to design, plan and journal your garden each year. There is a free version, and a subscription version. The talk on the 24th will introduce this tool, and explore how to use it, and also play around with the companion plant tool.  Come join us for a fun and interesting evening with snacks and an attendance draw. Pre-registration would be appreciated by contacting: help@stavelylibrary.ca; or texting 403-682-8880, but drop-in is welcome as well.  There will be a cover charge of $5 for each participant for this presentation.  If  you are interested in gaining knowledge of plants, gardens and gardening,  watch for the next garden lecture coming in May - Date and topic will be posted each month on the Library Website: www.stavelylibrary.ca; Stavely Municipal Library Facebook page, and Stavely newsletter. All manner of gardeners are welcome – from pot to plot!
