125 YEARS OF GARDENING SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 - VIRTUAL ZOOM MEETING
Welcome back Waterloo Gardeners!! We hoped you enjoyed the virtual garden tour, virtual competition and the wonderful weekly WGWG emails throughout the summer!!
After so many challenging months of this pandemic, we are finally starting to see some better days. But it will be a long time before we get back to normal. The Ministry of Health is suggesting masks & social distancing might be the norm for 1-2 years. During this pandemic, many of us have learned new ways to keep in touch with friends and family through virtual meetings. I am excited to announce that in September, Waterloo Gardeners will host our first virtual meeting on Zoom!! Members will be invited to join our meeting and asked to accept our invitation. Members who accept will receive a second email that has the meeting link. On the day of the meeting, just click on the link, or enter the meeting ID and password to join in. Members will need to download and install the Zoom application to join a meeting. Here is the link where you can find the download. https://zoom.us/download We will be having "office hours" on September 17 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. to help members who are having problems using the Zoom application. Please send us an email before this date to let us know that you need help. Our first virtual speaker is Sean James and his topic is “Fall Cleanup: The Green Way – Updated”. Sean will be addressing the many misconceptions about what to do in the fall; identify labour saving techniques and provide extra information about biodiversity and general horticulture. So welcome back Waterloo Gardeners!! It will be a very different and exciting year.
