Journal of My Learnings

Over the past few years I have read many gardening magazines (Gardens West is my favourite), a few books and spent many hours googling. I have admired many gardens built and maintained by others. Yet none of this knowledge really means anything unless I can apply it. That is what I am trying to do now.

Five years ago my husband and I bought a home on the South West Coast of BC, Canada. There was not much to speak of in the way of gardens, a clean slate you might say. Which is exactly what I wanted to start with. I have done a bit over the years in between getting married, work and having two babies. I'm proud of the results so far and day-dream about how to add to it.

I wanted to start this blog to share my learnings and maybe even inspire. My gardening does not come easily. I have ended the life of more then a few plants over the years, due to wrong placement, soil, or winter treatment or lack of, oops! SO, now I research before I buy, plant or transplant. Through this blog I will share what I have learned and want to learn. Please comment if you have insight into what I post and/or ask questions.

Thanks for reading!
