October General Meeting with Guest Speaker Emma Biggs

Guest Speaker: Emma Biggs
Topic: Trials and Tribulations of a Teenage Tomato Grower
   

Fifteen-year old gardening dynamo, Emma Biggs, is passionate about tomatoes, growing more than 100 varieties at home in Toronto. In this presentation, Emma will share her many gardening challenges, including limited space, abundant pests, and a neighbor’s black walnut tree; and let us know how, despite all this, she ended up with more tomatoes than even she could possibly eat.
