Monday November 18: Matthew Schmidt “Shaping Nature’s Art — the Power & Precision of Tree/Shrub Pruning”

Join Us at the Omemee Legion for Fellowship, Coffee/Tea & Snacks at 6:30pm. The meeting begins at 7pm.

Don’t forget to Lug-A-Mug & bring some cash for draws.

We appreciate ‘Tip Donations’ for coffee/tea as the Omemee Swans, another Non-Profit, donates all proceeds back into Community groups & projects. 

This is our Annual General Meeting where election & installation of Executive & Board members takes place by and is followed by  Matthew’s presentation.

Matthew Schmidt joined Omemee Blooms in 2021 & has been helping with some of the larger projects since then.  He resided in Omemee for 6 years & now lives in Douro with his wife & 3 children. Matthew has a degree & diploma in Ecological Restoration from Trent & Fleming respectively. In addition, he is an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist & has been in the industry for almost 15 years. He is the owner of Apical Tree; a Tree, Lawn, & Gardening business. Matthew considers himself to be a lifelong student & loves to learn new things and pass on what he has learned to others.    

Matthew will touch on basic tree biology, basic leaf anatomy & identification, & will use the knowledge from both to do a practical demonstration on how & when to prune trees & shrubs. 

Anyone wishing to be a participant of the practical pruning demonstration is encouraged to bring their own pair of sharp secateurs.
