Gardening Background

Biographical Information
Grew up gardening in Montreal, spent some time in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley, then several years in Manchester, UK, then Vancouver,BC. Biggest garden was a couple of acres in Wakefield Quebec. Smallest, but most challenging garden is the one I have now. I refer to myself as a shoehorn gardener...always trying to shoehorn one more plant into my small space!
