    Got fruit? Want bees? Check this out.


    Posted at 12:25 pm by Sarah Jackson

    Bees and fruit ... what could be more important in gardening?

    Here are two upcoming events that celebrate our most fruitful plants and those important pollinators!

    Get fruity: Spend a fruitful Halloween learning about container gardening (with intensity!), what fruits to grow in a small garden and the pros and cons of mason bees, among other things at the Seattle Tree Fruit Society's Fall Fruit Show.

    Gets tips on apple identification and tool sharpening. Taste fruits (including unusual ones), juices and applesauces. Fruit experts will be standing by to answer your questions.

    It's all free and happening from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 31 at the Center for Urban Horticulture, 3501 NE 41st St. (Mary Gates Drive) in Seattle.

    For more information e-mail jlsvashoni@earthlink.net or call 206-784-1034.

    Bringing back the bees: The Snohomish Garden Club's regular monthly meeting will feature mason bee expert Dave Hunter of Hunter's Mason Bees in Woodinville at 7 p.m. Nov. 9 at Snohomish High School cafeteria, 1316 Fifth St.

    Hunter, who recently converted a 20-year hobby into a mason bee business, loans bees to garden club members for free. He also sells excess bees to orchards in risis.

    Though the club meeting is open to the public, there is a $5 fee for non-members.

    The Snohomish Garden Club mission is to stimulate knowledge and love of gardening, to protect native trees, plants and birds, and to encourage civic plantings. Meetings are on the second Monday of the month from September through May. Annual dues are $20.

    See www.snohomishgardenclub.com or call 425-374-8622 for more information.

    Hunter will also be speaking to garden clubs and other groups in Monroe, Woodinville, Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace in the coming weeks.

    Visit huntersmasonbees.com to learn more about his services.
