Book Launch :: The Sky and the Patio by Don Gayton

<p>Join us at the historic Leir House in Penticton for the launch of Don Gayton’s latest book, The Sky and the Patio hosted by former CBC broadcaster, Bob Nicholson.<br />Ecologist Don Gayton holds a frame up to his own backyard Okanagan Valley, revealing that there’s more to be told by a tree’s rings than just its age, more to be learned from the sockeye than a suitable wine pairing (though Gayton also offers his expertise there). From the wonders of composting to the finicky particulars of at-home-viticulture and cannabis growing, these 25 essays draw together lessons learned over a career of ecological research guided by both an attentive, scientific eye and a careful, reverent pen.<br />WHEN: Friday December 9 – 7PM PST<br />WHERE: The Leir House<br />220 Manor Park Avenue, Penticton</p>
