I'm Louie Fiorino and I live in Tecumseh Ontario Canada. I have been gardening for some 25 years. I belong to the Greater Windsor Hort. Society, Belle River Hort. Society and also the Windsor Orchid Society. My garden is a collection of perennials, bi-ennials and supplemented with just a few annual plants. I grow most of my plants from seed bought, and traded at our local Hort. meetings. This past fall I got rid of the last stand of lawn in the front yard. The back yard has been "sod-free" for three years. I use every square inch of space to add to my collection of plants.
