CALENDAR
MARCH International Women’s Day March 8 Look for surprise pop-up celebrations of this important day around Fairwinds.
A FEW GARDEN CHORES 1 If, like me, you leave your shrubs and perennials unpruned through the winter—in part to leave seed heads for over-wintering birds—you can start removing spent branches and leaves. Your evergreen hedges can be given a nice haircut and fruit trees a proper pruning.
Spring Break Junior Golf Camps March 15 – 25 Check out the details at Fairwinds.ca/golf-lessons and click Junior Group Programs Spring Equinox March 20 Otherwise known as the first day of spring, is a highly anticipated date by our local gardeners! Golf Membership Renewal March 31
2 Sort through garden supplies: seeds, potting soil and amendments, trays and pots. And having a new pair of gardening gloves on hand—haha— will start the gardening year off right.
3 Look over your garden tools, sharpen the spade, lubricate the pruning shears, check that the wheelbarrow tire is pumped up, and ensure the handles of shovels, hoes and trowels are not wobbly.
APRIL Easter Sunday April 4 Keep your eyes peeled for special events around Fairwinds and you might even catch a glimpse of the elusive Easter Bunny! Earth Day April 22 Celebrate our planet by planting a tree, collecting garbage, or engaging in other activities to care for the environment.
