***LOCATION CHANGE - NOW AT COLLINS HALL***

By Kristina Linder

Hello!

My name is Kristina Linder. I grew up in Sweden, and I've lived in Canada since the early 80's. I love our West Coast climate for gardening! Ever since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated (possibly somewhat obsessed?) with plants and how to grow them. Most of my adult life has been spent working in retail nurseries and floral shops, and at this point in my life, I have discovered how much fun it is to share my passion for gardening and my experiences with others. A couple of years ago, I was presented with an opportunity to start a YouTube channel, and I would like to invite you to simply Google 'YouTube gardening with Kristina Linder'. I'd love for your Club members to check it out, and please, any time, ask any questions you may have. I love it when my viewers interact!

I have been invited to talk at your February garden club meeting about hanging baskets. I am planning a presentation about how to build a colorful basket in early spring, that, with a couple of simple updates throughout the year, will look beautiful all the way into the following Christmas season. I will also discuss some (perhaps more unorthodox options) for things you can grow in hanging baskets, and ways to maximise performance so your baskets look like a million bucks through the seasons.

I look forward to seeing everyone on the 21 of February!

Kristina
