My wife and " I joined the Wilmot Garden
Club in 1990, which was one of the best gardening decisions we ever
made; because it hasbrought us into regular contact with a large number
of excellent gardeners from , not only in the Valley, but also from
all across Nova Scotia."

News
A year ago NS passed legislation banning
the sale of cosmetic pesticides for lawn care. Some pesticides while
banned for cosmetic use are allowed to be purchased for other specified
uses. A list of these pesticides can be found at:http://www.gov.ns.ca/nse/pests/docs/Non-Essential-Controlled.Purchase.pdf
The sale and use of pesticides not
on the list were prohibited for use on lawns as of April 1, 2011.
The legislation, as of April 1 2012, will now include ornamental shrubs,
flowers and trees.
