The winter season may be a dull time for gardeners in the Port Hope area, but that isn’t stopping Northumberland Big Sisters Big Brothers (BSBB) from putting together a venture aimed at giving people with green thumbs a worthwhile activity to work on.

Heart of Northumberland BSBB is launching a new fundraising activity dubbed as the ‘Spring into the Garden Speaker Series’. The venture is comprised of a series of four symposiums taking place each Thursday of the month beginning on the 4^th of March, 2010. Participants get to enjoy hearing 4 local speakers talk about their gardening secrets. Liz Primeau, Frank Kershaw, Marion Jarvie and Paul Zammitt – all from the Northumberland area are widely considered as gardening “masters”.

Indeed, it’s a golden opportunity for those who want to learn more about the craft. The speakers will also answer questions about gardening from the audience.

The series of symposiums will be held at Calvary Pentecostal Church in Port Hope at 7:30 in the evening.

Tickets are priced at only $35 and can be purchased at Second Helpings Store, also in Port Hope.

Don’t forget to mark your calendars! Spring is just around the corner, so greet it with new gardening tips and techniques in your arsenal!
