“Stone and Water Ideas for Your Valentine”
Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2010, 6:30-7:30 PM in Kalikasan, Kaunlaran!
Horti 2010 at the Manila Seedling Bank, which ended on Feb. 8, was a steal! With entrance fee of only P20/day (or P10/day if you are a Senior Citizen or student), you could have viewed beautiful landscape arrangements with exotic plants and flowers, and attended two seminars per day—from vermiculture to water-wise irrigation.
Two of the novel ideas presented at the seminars could produce your gifts to your Valentine—Suiseki, the art of using natural stones, and a water-wise irrigation system using an automated, non-electrical technique plus indigenous and recycled materials.
Tune in/watch Kalikasan, Kaunlaran! (KK!) on Feb. 10, 2010, Wednesday, 6:30-7:30 PM, as Dr. Cora Claudio, President, EARTH Institute Asia, presents these two ideas. Guests are youthful Felicidad “Fely” Gupit, Founding President of the Natural Stone Society of the Philippines and Director, Philippine Horticulture Society, and Philip K.N. Choo, who has opted to retire in the Philippines and help farmers and gardeners use water wisely.
KK! Is accessible through DZRH-AM radio (666 in Metro Manila, other kHz nationwide), TV (Ch. 9 in Metro Manila, other cable TV channels nationwide), and Internet http://dzrh.prepys.com or (http://dzrh.tripod.com.
