The Cochrane & District Horticultural Society was founded in April 2005 by local gardeners unified by their love of gardening. We serve Cochrane and surrounding district with varied activities focused on education and sharing gardening expertise & experience in Hardiness Zones 3a and 3b with Chinook conditions!
Thursday, October 24th @ 7:00 p.m.
Cochrane Alliance Church
Round table discussion with special guest Elaine Rude.
Elaine is a Master Gardener, a garden designer, instructor, and writer. She gardens on four acres NW of Calgary growing vegetables, fruit, numerous perennials, shrubs, and trees. Elaine is very aware of the challenges we face gardening in the Chinook Zone but paying attention to our site, choosing the right plants, and growing them in a sustainable way will ensure we can have gorgeous gardens. There are so many opportunities to create great prairie gardens, we just need to believe it’s possible.
Bring your questions for Elaine and enjoy the opportunity to share your gardening accomplishments and challenges with our members and guests.
Members attend free of charge; non-members, $10
