Kyneton Horticultural Society’s next speaker night will present a talk from accomplished Macedon Ranges gardening expert Michael McCoy, covering the topic of dry gardens.
A garden designer, writer, broadcaster, international garden tour guide, and host of television series Dream Gardens, Mr McCoy is passionate about creating gardens that are sustainable and use little water.
He will present a 30-minute educational talk including dry garden design and planting tips.
Horticultural Society president Melva Ryan said that Mr McCoy is “very passionate about gardens and gardening” and has “lots of experience and advice, locally and internationally, in gardening“.
“The Kyneton Horticultural Society holds speaker nights, so we have an annual program of speakers and we like to invite speakers on a whole range of topics that are in relation to gardening and horticulture,” Ms Ryan said.
“It’s a very humble presentation, our members … friends and the community are invited to participate … [it is] a 30 minute presentation from the people we choose on that particular topic and then we have a question and answer section at the end,” she said.
The speaker night will be hosted from 7pm on Monday, February 17 at the Elm Room of Kyneton Racecourse, 44 Campaspe Place, Kyneton.
Tickets are free for society members and $10 for non-members.
