I'm speaking at the Southport Horticultural Society Meeting tonight in Port Elgin about sensory gardens and connecting with nature. I expect there will be a few people I recognize. My high school and young adult lives were spent in Port Elgin.
Wish me luck! I will just picture everyone as a plant🌱🌱🌱
