You could win a personal landscape consultation with nationally known gardening expert David Clark at Vines & Wines, a fundraising event to benefit the horticulture program and its participants with disabilities at Opportunities Unlimited of Niagara. He will also give a presentation on organic growing tips.
The event will be held from 3-8 p.m. Thursday, May 21, at the Merani Hotel Group’s Four Points by Sheraton, 7001 Buffalo Ave., Niagara Falls. The hotel is offering a reduced room rate for that night.

Lockport.
Tickets will be $25 at the door.
Admission includes wine tasting and one sheet of tickets for an imaginative Home Interiors and Gardening basket auction. There will also be a high-end silent auction, wine raffle, chocolate tastings from Jacolatte and a cash bar. Participating wineries to date are Vizcarra Wineyards and Arrowhead Spring Vineyards.
Opportunities Unlimited is in the process of raising the last bulk of the funds needed to break ground on an expanded greenhouse that will triple the growing and education space. Proceeds from this event will assist with the expansion and with horticulture programming.

Is this where we enter to win? We have 207 acres of which I want to develop about 50 acres into orchard, goat area and perhaps a Fish growing operation (depending on costs). I would like plant identification (what not to CUT down) and some planning ideas to preserve the land that has been in my husbands family for 5 generations.
This is a very wonderful event. Lots of fun too.
