3 of 10 Ways to Get Through Winter

By Lorraine • Feb 23rd, 2009 • Category: Winter

3. My third favourite way to get through the winter is to go to a gardening lecture. Luckily, I’m spoiled by the Toronto Botanical Garden’s Edwards Lecture series — and this year’s lineup of gardening celebs offers more treats than usual. First up are Scott Ogden and Lauren Springer-Ogden who are speaking on March 4 about Plant-Driven Design. I’ve skimmed through their latest book and am looking forward to hearing what these two plant-a-holics have to say. The season continues with Jack Staub on April 1 who talks about ornamental veggie gardening; the “queen of deadheading” Tracy DiSabato-Aust on April 15; Kevin Lamb on May 13; and Don Shadow on May 26. These events will more than take me through winter and into full-fledged gardening season!

How do you get through the winter? Post your favourite passtimes.
