SUMMARY:Speaker Series - April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Growing Gladiolus with Glad Man 2.0 (Andy Schalk)\nThe presentation will discuss corm size and quality\, planting\, stem harvest\, corm harvest\, corm storage\, and pest management. Following the presentation\, Andy will have a selection of corms available for sale. \nThe speaker\, The Glad Man\, will have gladiolus corms for sale AND the Lily Society will have bulbs too. Stock up on everything you need for a great garden this season! \nAbout Andy:\nAndy Schalk was inspired to start growing glads in 2018 for his son’s July wedding. After receiving 100 corms from his father-in-law and advice from Edmonton horticultural expert\, Jim Hole\, Andy’s journey with glads began. The challenge would be to produce early glads to bloom for the July 14th wedding. They ended up a success and Andy found his new hobby. In 2020\, two ladies from Edmonton asked to buy his cut glads and Andy realized there could be a market for these beautiful blooms. Since his start in 2018\, and with support from his wife and children\, he has grown over 75\,000 glads and is now the largest grower of glads in Alberta. Through social media\, he has gained international attention and is eager to share his passion\, along with growing techniques.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series March 2026
DESCRIPTION:From Aesthetics to Ecology: The New Garden Paradigm \nAcross the globe\, people are reimagining the role of gardens. Beyond beauty\, gardens can be places of ecological resilience and profound meaning. In a growing movement\, designers are creating landscapes that support biodiversity\, adapt to change\, and offer richer human experiences. \nThis new paradigm in garden design\, often called naturalistic planting\, represents a shift from decoration toward ecology\, and from maintenance toward coexistence. It treats plantings as living systems shaped by design\, time\, and care. \nNathaniel and Claire will explore the influential designers and projects leading this movement\, the environmental and experiential benefits it brings for both nature and people\, and how these ideas are being adapted within our own culture and climate through a case study from their Alberta garden. \nThe Zoom link for EHS Members can be found HERE. \n————————— \nPresenter Bios \nNathaniel Hannemann \nPrincipal of Polyflora Studio\, Nathaniel is a garden designer and horticulturist whose work bridges ecological design and artistry. His Edmonton-based practice focuses on creating immersive\, resilient gardens that integrate beauty\, biodiversity\, and long-term care. \nClaire Hannemann \nClaire\, Nathaniel’s sister\, is a communications specialist and horticulturist with a passion for connecting people to nature through education and storytelling. \nTo learn more about their work\, visit polyflorastudio.ca

SUMMARY:MGAA Spring Symposium 2026
DESCRIPTION:MGAA: Spring Symposium (On-Line)\nFebruary 28\, 9:00 am to 3:30 pm \nThis is a zoom presentation. \nGeneral Public $45. —  MGAA Members $35.  —  MGAA Students $25. \nFor Tickets: eTransfer to: treasurer@mgaab.org \nPlease include your email address to receive the zoom link.  Thank you \nSpeakers:\nWilbert Ronald of Jeffries nurseries: Columnar Trees\nColumnar trees are extremely popular accent and screening trees in the flat Canadian prairies. In recent years the Columnar Swedish aspen cultivar was among the most popular of columnar trees but it has lost its position due to disease and introduction of other new trees. A number of newer columnar trees including columnar flowering crabapples\, columnar Parkland Pillar birch and other trees are coming to the forefront. \nJohn Acorn\, Naturalist: Butterflies in the Garden and Beyond\nThere are more than 170 species of butterflies in Alberta\, and many of these are familiar garden insects.  Gardening for butterflies involves the use of both nectar-source flowers to attract the adults\, and caterpillar food plants to sustain the larvae.  Naturally\, most types of pesticides should be avoided.  Monarchs are of course the most popular of the Alberta species\, but in truth they are almost entirely limited to the southern centres such as Medicine Hat and Lethbridge.  And if the garden butterflies are an inspiration to you\, you might also enjoy pursuing butterflies farther afield\, in environments that are difficult to replicate in a managed garden. \nTony Spencer: Wildscaping\nIn the post-wild countryside of Mono\, Ontario\, Tony Spencer is conducting a series of open experiments to combine naturalistic planting design with Blue-Green Infrastructure into a fluid ecological art form. \nWorking on the local level\, he cultivates his universal concept of Wildscaping. This is about using plant-driven landscape design to create and sustain dynamic garden spaces\, filled with beauty and wildlife\, to rekindle our relationship to the natural world. \nThe focus of this talk is how to link home to landscape in a symbiotic loop to build new nature and adapt to the inevitable extremes of the new climate. \n  \n  \n
