Jodi DeLong - Thursday, August 18th 2011
Garden guru, Jodi DeLong will be in giving a presentation on late-blooming flowers at 11am with a lunch to follow, then finishing off the day with a walk around our own Frank Calder Historic Garden with a Q&A period.  Jodi is renowned for her knowledge of gardening and is excited to visit New Glasgow.  Let's give her a warm Pictou County welcome by coming out to hear what this guru has to say! 
 
A small admission fee will be charged as a fundraiser for our museum, as well as there being a raffle, and books Jodi will be selling for herself.  So come out, bring your wallet, bring your smile, bring your curiosity and enthusiasm, and this should be a great day!
