This time of year, we see the forecasted weather turn hot and dry, and we may be concerned with our lawn health. There are tips and strategies that can help you maintain a greener lawn in the summer, without using excessive watering. 

If lawns aren’t your thing, we will also cover the differences between lawn grass, native grass and ornamental grass. The benefits and challenges we face with each, and how grass can be so resilient, yet so delicate at the same time. 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 September - 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!
