AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoCommunity PanTREE (Batangas, Philippines): DENR is handing out free native and fruit-tree seedlings through a “community pantry” style program, aiming to boost food security and local stewardship. Heat-smart gardening: Experts keep repeating the same theme—don’t water daily; use deep watering to soak roots and help plants handle heatwaves, plus drought-tolerant swaps like viburnum and other flowering alternatives to thirsty hydrangeas. Lawn & weed reality check: Crabgrass can still pop up even after spring pre-emergence because the protection fades and seeds wait for warm soil; for driveway/patio weeds, pros point to a simple vinegar-based approach and thorough root removal. Pollinator-friendly planting: Thai basil is being spotlighted as a heat-tough herb that draws butterflies and bees. Local life outdoors: Kelowna’s Rutland Recreation Park upgrades begin Monday, with turf, pathways, and irrigation changes bringing temporary closures. Safety note: Police warn of distraction thefts targeting seniors—stay alert when “helpful” strangers approach.
