"To Plant a Garden is to Believe in Tomorrow"

Welcome to our website! Since 1996 we have been bringing quality gardening articles to help you grow from a variety of garden writers from Canada to Scotland. Stay a while and you will discover a great community to feel at home in and learn from!

I update the site with new articles each Sunday but if something is urgent it is put right up so check in often and be sure to sign up for our newsletters (it's free) so you can enter our contests for some really cool prizes .. including that new reel mower from Fiskars. The prizes are coming in now and the contests will start soon. Our newsletters have all sorts of goodies for our members so to make sure you receive your copy, you must sign up for it.

Seems Christmas comes earlier and earlier every year doesn't it. We started seeing Christmas decorations in stores in August! There are so many things that you can make from your garden and kitchen instead of buying so I hope you will do that. If you do buy, we hope it is from our Amazon site - why? - because the funds raised there will go to Grow A Row and the Ronnie Fund. Both provide food and equipment needed for basic living and survival. We have two other sites that might also be of interest to you. Here is the website link to our tours only gardening website!

I have been hosting very unique garden tours since 1998. 2010 features Ecuador, India, Thailand/Cambodia, China Peony and Chelsea. There is even a short video on one of our tours there. Our Panama site is at WhyPanama.net
Moving to a tropical country from Zone 3a in Alberta was sure some kind of adjustment, but one that we are so thankful we did, especially when we hear about the weather!

If you have any garden questions, be sure to visit our gardeners forum where you can enter them for other gardeners to read and perhaps even help another gardener out yourself. Please also go to our Help click through and read that as well. Tom also has tips to help you find your way around the site there.

Our 'how to make the best use of the site' appears under the HELP button
