This coming week we near the end of our Summer Reading Club!!! (just two weeks left!) and our Masterminds will be meeting for the last time :( on Thursday!
But also on Wednesday we have an exciting Guest Wednesday! My friend Karen will be joining us to share with us all her knowledge about bees!!!
Karen will be sharing information on bees, pollination, identifying the differences between wasps and bess, and beekeeping!
We may also get a sweet treat of honey samples too! So we hope to see you next week!
So my lovely momma is an avid gardener, like seriously, there are plants in our house that are older, taller and much more quieter (as my mom likes to remind me) than me! My mom likes to call them her favourite children ... it really makes my sister, brother and I feel REAL special! Thanks Mom!
Recently, a couple years ago we moved to our new house and the year of my graduation from high school my mom started her new project of renovating her garden with the help of her creative and genius landscape designer friend, Buena! Now that my mom's garden is finished, she's been fostering and weeding like crazy over her outdoor friends.
So, this year my mom found out about some Bee Pollinator Seminars/Movie Documentary Nights being hosted by Rossland Real Food (see website here: http://www.rosslandfood.com/) where a local entomologist was also going to be hosting some field trips into local farms/gardens give tours that expound on producing bee friendly gardens!
I, sadly, missed the movie night! The documentary to be shown was called "Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us", here's the trailer:
Anyways, this summer I made up for my absence by attending 2 of the field trips! One to a lovely local Fruitvale Organic Farm and the other to a quaint and beautiful home garden in Rossland!
And looooooong story short (too late!) that's how I meet Hanne Smith! She works for Rossland Real Food and organized our field trips - and did a fantastic job, I might add!
