Bloom in the Bay

Emma Cole

Emma Cole returns to the Festival this year, having previously shared her wealth of gardening knowledge with attendees. This year, she’s back with two hands-on sessions for green thumbs of all levels. In Organic Pest and Disease Management, Emma will share practical tips for reducing pests and diseases without relying on harsh chemicals or poisons, offering gentler, more sustainable solutions for a healthy garden. In Seed Saving and Tips, Emma will cover seed saving for sustainability, treatments to support germination, and how to successfully save and store seeds. Learn how to sustain a low-cost, or even free, harvest year after year. A fantastic opportunity to learn practical skills that will serve your garden for seasons to come.
