​​FRIDAY 5 June 2026- CLUB MEETING

​​​

Speaker: Janie Turner

Subject: Homeopathy for the Garden

​Overview: 

Our June 2026 speaker at Nanoose Garden Club is Janie Turner. Janie is a passionate fruit and vegetable gardener and hates seeing her crops stolen before she can harvest and eat them! Several years ago she and her husband became aware of organic and biodynamic farming and gardening through friends. Think of vines grown for organic or biodynamic wine…   For those of you who love growing flowers, there will be plenty of tips for you, too. Blackspot on roses? Broken plants in a strong wind? Would you like to know how to help your plants deal with drought, water-logging, sunburn or a sudden chill?

The attraction of no chemicals, making plants stronger, and keeping pests and diseases at bay naturally was intriguing to Janie, and she began experimenting in her own garden. She will tell you the story of her discovery that biodynamic means excellent flavour plus it helps regenerate the soil, giving more nutrition. The author of four cookbooks, Janie has been involved in food and cooking for more than 25 years, so flavour and nourishment are important to her.

Once Janie realised that a biodynamic approach for farms and gardens actually uses homeopathic remedies for plants, the experimenting became more focused, and she is loving the results… although a garden has a way of keeping you learning, that’s for sure. What is homeopathy? Come and learn that too.

Join Janie as she shares her discoveries and offers you the chance to try out some homeopathic remedies in your gardens this summer. As a teaser, she’ll be telling you how she’s been dealing with slugs and snails, rabbits and those infamous Nanoose deer, and she will have a powdery/downy mildew remedy available for each of you to try at home. Hint: it worked a treat last summer on Janie’s squashes and zucchini.
