Fundy Gardeners Monthly Meeting Nov 2,2022

 Owls!!! Voices in the Night 

Jim has always had a strong interest in nature, and birds in particular. This comes from his Dad, who painted, sketched and carved birds and animals as a hobby. When he was just a little boy his father took him for walks in the woods on his shoulders because Jim was too small to walk that far. A retired Professional Accountant (CPA, CMA), he now has more time to spend in the field observing and taking photographs, which he loves to share with interested audiences. Jim has had the privilege of serving in a number of related roles as a volunteer, including President of the Saint John Naturalists' Club, Chair of the New Brunswick Wildlife Trust Fund and Chair of the B Bird Records Committee. He provides weekly comments on birds for the Sightings page of the Telegraph-Journal newspaper and contributes from time to time to CBC Radio, discussing nature-related topics.

In 2018 Jim was awarded the national Roland Mitchener Conservation Award by the Canadian Wildlife Federation for outstanding conservation research, and in 2019 was invested into the Order of New Brunswick for his long-term commitment to conservation in this province.

October 5,2022 Monthly Meeting Bee Keeping Basics

BrettLynn Farms Our Story-Devin and Kelly Cooke are the proud owners of BrettLynn Farms.

What began as a hobby has quickly grown to provide fresh, natural honey and beeswax products throughout New Brunswick and beyond. Their apiary and retail store is located in the small fishing village of Back Bay, in Charlotte county NB.

BrettLynn farms bees are used for pollination services, unpasteurized honey, and top quality, all-natural handcrafted skincare products, including soaps and lotions. This brand new retail location in Back Bay NB allows its customers an opportunity to enjoy a cup of coffee, a cone of ice cream and to purchase their beeswax products. With an onsite observation hive that provides people with a close-up look at the hardworking honey bees, this location has also become a valuable resource for folks that want to learn more.

They are a small family business that values each and every one of its customers, and they are passionate about sharing their love for bees and their crucial place in our ecosystem.

BrettLynn Farms truly believes in protecting the earth’s most important pollinators and cultivating a community by providing quality, small-batch products that you are guaranteed to love.

Mask wearing required for entire meeting

Guest Speaker -  Jim Landry Exec Director Landscape NB/PEI 

Topic: This is not what I expected when I planted it 20 years ago. A look into the future to see what that tree/ shrub/ perennial we planted yesterday might look like. Does it need extensive pruning or removal, is it too close to the house, has it taken over the yard, has climate change taken it’s toll. All things to consider when you are planning and planting your landscape

Jim Landry has worked pretty much my whole life in the horticultural field.  Jim’s  current position is as Executive Director and I’m very proud to be actively involved in the one and only truly “green” industry.
