Joe Granato builds watery landscapes
The Seven Lakes Garden Club
has been busy preparing for
spring and a new gardening
season. In February the members
heard from Steve Thornburg
and Denise Maynor of the Horticulture
Department of the NC
Zoo.
They discussed a program
on amending sandy soil for maximum
plant benefits, including soil
testing, materials used to amend
and composting. They then presented
slides of native plants
used to establish a butterfly garden
and plants that attract hummingbirds.
In March, members heard
from Joe Granato of Star Ridge
Aquatics, LLC. The attendees
at this meeting learned about
installing ponds, ponds with
waterfalls, and waterfalls with
no ponds, as well as the newest
technology for keeping them
running cleanly and smoothly.
Granato then spoke about plants,
flowers and fish which gardeners
may want to introduce in
their landscapes.
The April meeting was held in
the North Club House. The featured
speaker was Helen Munro,
local bluebird enthusiast and
member of the North Carolina
Bluebird Society.
