Sharing our enthusiasm and knowledge of gardening
OHS Fall Issue of The Dibbler
The Fall issue of The Dibbler is out now!
Our award-winning*, member-driven publication is now available. With “Garden Stories in Black and White” you can cozy up with inspiring and beautiful articles written and illustrated by fellow OHS members. Take a look back at summer with a behind-the-scenes tour of the Royal Botanical Gardens, and think ahead to winter with tips for growing edible greens indoors. Read a killer book review and, just in time for Hallowe’en, take a walk through a garden that glows in the moonlight and lurks in the shadows. Learn about one of the lesser-known garden tools and Canada’s first Dominion Botanist. Regular columns include a specially curated list of new titles from the Ottawa Public Library’s collection and a peek inside the garden of an OHS Board member.
Lots to read on these crisp autumn days!
