The Kyneton Horticultural Society Inc. will present a panel discussion at its August speaker night on three ways to explore horticulture.
The panel will discuss YouTube as a visual medium, books as a written medium and radio as a spoken medium for learning about gardening and horticulture. Stephen Ryan, Kerryn Burgess and Margot McDonald will make up the panel.
Stephen Ryan and Matthew Lucas create and produce a weekly YouTube video (www.youtube.com/@thehorti-culturalists) about the weird and wonderful world of plants. They introduce rare and unusual plants not often found in nurseries.
They inspire us with ideas of how to design gardens and use plants in various ways, in difficult spots, in sun, in shady areas and different climates. And they show us significant gardens introducing us to genuine plant specialists taking us to places we will never get to see.
Kerryn Burgess is a professional book editor and indexer. She is also a very keen gardener. She will introduce us to two new and fabulous publications in the world of horticulture. One is very special. Let’s learn why?
Margot McDonald has been a local nursery identity and radio presenter. She will give us an introduction to 3CR Gardening Program. In the world of horticulture, this program is considered one of the very best gardening programs on radio.
Margot will tell us all about it and how to find it.
Soup will be served from 6.30 and the panel presentation will begin at 7.30pm. This event will be held on Monday August 19 in the Kyneton Football Netball Social Rooms, Kyneton Showgrounds, Mollison Street. Enquiries to email: kynetonh1894@gmail.com
