On February 16, 2015 the Bowen Island Garden club welcomes Laura Dohney who will give a presentation on how to integrate fruit trees and other small fruits into Bowen Island gardens. Laura is and has been the manager of the David Hunter Garden Center on Broadway Street, Vancouver for 10 years. Laura is a certified garden designer and a former Master Gardener. She is a self- taught horticultural teacher and an avid gardener herself. Laura’s presentation will focus on fruit trees and other small fruit varieties that can be grown successfully on Bowen Island. She will discuss seasonal care, planting guidelines and soil amending for fruit trees. She will also touch on bugs and simple diseases that affect the health of fruit trees as well as how to protect trees and plants from deer.
