Distinctly Canadian Seedlings

Nicole, one of the members of the You Grow Girl Seedling Growing Collective, brought some of her newly started seeds over to the greenhouse on Saturday where they will benefit from the warm and sunny growing conditions. When I saw the recycled cups she was using — the possible former home of a double-double — I couldn’t resist snapping a few shots.

I know Tim Hortons is available in the U.S. now-a-days, but we Canadians still consider it a distinctly Canadian institution. That’s our crappy coffee, damn it!

Hello Pennsylvania! I’m going to be giving two workshops and a presentation this coming Earth Day/Arbor Day Weekend at Terrain at Styer’s in Glen Mills, PA.

Where: Terrain at Styer’s
914 Baltimore Pike, Glen Mills, PA, USA

When: Saturday, April 25, 2009 and Sunday, April 26, 2009.

Saturday: Windowsill Herb Gardening Workshop 11am & Container Gardening Workshop 2pm

Sunday: Presentation on Growing Food 12pm {Book signing and discussion to follow}

As you may know, Terrain is the garden center recently opened by the company that owns Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie. It will be interesting to see first-hand how they have adjusted their retail approach to gardening. Although, I will say that the fact that they have a delicious-sounding cafe on site already gives them a big plus one in their favor. Debra Prinzing of Shed Style recently uploaded some photos she took of the store and it looks like a place capable of prying a few dollars out of my wallet. F-A-N-C-Y.

Fortunately, they have priced the workshops affordably so that a variety of people can attend. And of course, I will have lots of thrifty tips and tricks for you.

Contact Terrain directly for more info and registration.
