On November 16., the Garden Club welcomes Wynn Nielsen, landscape/garden designer, and Scott Stevenson, owner and operator of Bowen Island Septic Services.
Scott, a registered on-site Wastewater (septic systems) practitioner and fully accredited expert in the installation and repairs of septic systems, will discuss the technology associated with septic systems. He will inform us about the differences between old and new systems, installation, maintenance, recognition and consequences of malfunction and Provincial and Health regulations.
Wynn hopes to improve the aesthetics of our septic fields. No-risk and low-risk plants will be identified as safe to use as well as cautions and limitations of gardening with septic fields (e.g., growing edibles). Specific plants that should never be planted near or on a septic field will be identified.
Join us at Gallery@Artisan Square on November 16 at 1pm. Everyone is welcome. Members are free; guests $3.
