LG056: Potted Exotics: What about Olives, Lemons, and Figs??
When your client says, “I’d like something different. Something unique,” or maybe you have a job that needs a special flourish. A Mediterranean touch.
What about adding potted olives, lemons, and figs as a premium choice you can help with.
Although none of these plants are fully hardy here in Ontario. They all do well in containers. And they can all take colder temperatures than many people realize. That means that you have overwintering options.
During this half day seminar participants will find out how to successfully grow maintain, prune and fertilize potted olive trees, potted lemon trees, and potted fig trees.
A seminar for those looking to hear a new potting idea for their next job or just for their own personal interest

EN015: NEW - Fusion Landscaping, What's it All About?
Encouraged by many municipalities and regions, Fusion Landscaping® blends LID (rainwater handling) with xeriscaping (drought-tolerant gardening) and enfolds plantings to enhance biodiversity.
One of the main foci of this style is to engage the public with beauty. Since it’s so important that property owners take up this gauntlet, we’ll address the backbone of each of these disciplines and discuss how as a professional landscaper to do each artfully.
With climate change, storms are becoming stronger and less predictable. Droughts are getting longer. Many of us seek to use the landscapes we create to do 'Good' for biodiversity.
Fusion Landscaping™ does all these things by minimizing water use, keeping the rain that falls ON our properties, and, through the favouring of native and wildlife-supporting plant choices, support the life that visits our yards."
