Creating Amazing Container Gardens
Omemee and District Horticultural Society Presents :Victoria Whitney (Griffins, Lakefield)
April 18- Creating Amazing Containers - with Victoria Whitney (Griffins, Lakefield)
Vikki is no stranger to us in Omemee. Her presentation last June, at the nursery, is just the beginning of her talent! Vikki is going to demonstrate how to make your containers eye-stoppingly amazing! She will also give us tips on fertilizing and caring for containers for all season appeal. She will probably have some new plants to show as well. Bring your "plant money" because she is going to sell her demonstration samples at cost, rather than take them home! Her demonstration container will be one of the door prizes for the evening!

Omemee Recycling Day Blue Box Today!
Save Money! Reduce Your Waste!
Recycling Day ? While some people call it Garbage Day, every Tuesday in Omemee is Recycling Day. City of Kawartha Lakes has a two bag garbage collection limit-anything more than that needs to have a pre-paid tag, or you can take it to the landfill. Either option will cost you $3.Every Tuesday, Omemee residents can reduce their garbage by recycling their waste. On alternate Tuesdays, Omemee has either green fibre (paper) or blue container (plastics, tin) pick up. Please don’t try to recycle anything contaminated with pet waste or motor oil-that’s garbage. Recycled containers must be placed in a recycling bin. They will not be picked up if they are bagged. The only recyclables accepted in bags are shredded paper in a clear plastic bag, or plastic bags bagged in another plastic bag.
Here’s the low down on what you can and can’t put in the recycling bins as well as a few ideas for reusing and rethinking to reduce waste. Please add your ideas in the comments, and we’ll add them to the chart. Download a free Recycling Calendar from the City of Kawartha Lakes site, it has a tonne of handy info. Click here.
