MEET YOUR PRESENTER
Ritchie sends a warm welcome to Patrick Kyle, our presenter for the evening! Here’s a bit about Patrick in his own words:
“I am an amateur photographer and amateur naturalist. I was born and raised on a south-east Saskatchewan farm where some native prairie surrounding the farm thanks to road allowances and some native pasture land where native flowers grew. I worked for Environment Canada, Weather Services for over 35 years. I retired in 2006 and have volunteered extensively since then, doing the annual Elk Island flower count almost every year since retiring. I took the Edmonton city Master Naturist program in 2014 and have been participating with the Edmonton Native Plant Society ever since.”
Patrick now grows over 60 different native plants and shrubs in this yard!
