Welcome to our website and Welcome to our latest Sponsors - Proven Winners and Fitzhenry & Whiteside (Fifth House)!

Since 1996 we have been bringing quality gardening articles to help you grow from a variety of garden writers from Canada to Scotland. I update the site with new articles each Sunday but if something is urgent it is put right up away. Stay a while and you will discover a great community to feel at home in and learn from! If you have gardening questions there are many excellent ways to get your answers. Search the 10's of thousands of articles written on gardening subjects, participate in the garden forum or join us every Sunday at 1 pm ET for a live Chat with garden celebrity Art Drysdale.

Who would not want FREE GIFTS...they truly are free, and only available to our newsletter members. I went out to my garden buddies and asked for some really cool things to give away and they came back with some great items. Proven Winners is giving away a FREE Gardener's Idea Book PLUS they have given me 10 t-shirts to give away to our members! If you are not getting our newsletters you are missing out on some incredible prizes to be won over the next few months.

Our February Newsletter is going out this week. 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. IF YOU ARE ALREADY A MEMBER, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP AGAIN. Our newsletters have all sorts of other prizes for our members so to make sure you receive your copy, you must sign up for it.

Our Amazon site has been updated with all sorts of neat goodies. If you do buy, we hope it is from us - 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 (too late! sold out), India (too late! tour sold out), Chelsea (CLOSES for bookings March 10th so Chelsea Tickets can be placed) and Blooms (95% booked now). There is even a short video on one of our tours there. My Morocco tour for 2011 is truly gathering momentum and it's not even up yet. Also planned for 2012 is Keukenhof/Floriade, so visit the tours site and let me know what interests you. Then I can let you know as soon as the tours are ready for booking.

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. It has opened up a whole new world of plant material and article opportunities for me.

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.
