Eating violets

Yesterday morning you would have found me sitting in my little front yard with a bowl and a pair of scissors. The 9 year olds riding their bikes up and down the street looked at me oddly, as I sat and one by one picked violets.

Lilac Season

Sometime around last weekend the lilac in my backyard burst into bloom. Since then we've been enjoying stunning cut blooms and scent in the house. As I was bringing the cuttings into the house, I was reminded of last year around this time when I made my partner

Speaking in Bird

Nina Katchadourian's name may not be as prolific as Andy Goldsworthy or Christos and Jean Claude, though her work concentrates on similar themes: human effects on the environment at the most intimate of scales. The California born artist received her Bachelor's of Art

Grow a Crate o’ Mache

I keep hearing that fancy, mega-expensive containers are one of the current trends in gardening this year. To which I reply with a big fat WHATEVER. You can keep your fancy-schmancy urns and leave all of that quality junk for me. I found this discarded

My theory about people who live in places that get cold.

In Michigan we have been having the most fabulous amazing wonderful weather the last few weeks. Unlike last year's April 24 suprise snow storm (during an outdoor Earth Day festival, mind you-- and a windy snow storm at that), this April was incredible...Dealing with a lot of

A House of Their Own

With a short lull in a bathroom reno project that's been occupying most of my creative energy, I've been thinking about taking some of the wood scraps in the basement and building a birdhouse. Cally's post and photo about hers kind of sold me on the

Carrots on your rooftop

Yesterday I was perusing cnn.com for some news and came across a story about how rooftop gardening is becoming more popular here in the U.S. I know that in some European countries, especially Germany, this is quite common. I remember listening to a READ MORE...

Plant Sales - Mark Your Calendars

I hate to be so Toronto-centric but there are a number of local and very good plant sales coming up that ya'll should know about. They're more bang for your buck, the experience is fun, and often times the haul is of better quality than your typical

100 Mile Eating

As a follow-up to Christina's post about eating local vs. organic, I thought y'all might be interested in the 100 Mile Diet site. The site is one of the pieces of a larger puzzle put together by a friend of mine, James MacKinnon, and his partner

Jane Jacobs, 1916-2006

I know this isn't exactly about gardening, but it is about a fellow avid gardener who passed away earlier this week. I don't know how many people know of Jane Jacobs, myself having studied human geography and urban planning in university, she is one of my idols.

The Modern Alchemist

Words like hyperaccumulator and phytoremediation sound like something straight out of a 1960s Sci-Fi movie and hardly verbs describing gardens.  But when the conceptual, and socially minded artist Mel Chin creates a garden, you get these lengthy words among others.  Mel Chin is a Texas born artist now living in North Carolina; and when

My Trug Tub Love

Try saying that three times fast. TrugTubLove. TrugTubLove... Anyway. Gayla's post about Lee Valley got me to thinking about my last Lee Valley impulse purchase. I had stopped there on my way back from picking up a load of compost, and tried very hard to restrain myself

The Lee Valley Lure

The one-stop crack distribution depo of the Canadian gardening world recently opened a store in downtown Toronto, and... ummm... I have been there twice in two days. I want to state for the record that prior to this I have never purchased a Lee Valley product,

Local vs Certified organic

Last week I went to a film and discussion series entited "Label Me Confused: What organic, free range, and all those other words really mean" at a local theater. Several organic farmers gathered to discuss the benefits of choosing to eat locally produced and/or organic foods rather

6 yards of pure goodness

Am I greedy? I had 6 yards of compost delivered to my driveway last Wednesday, and there are few other things that cause me to express the same level of glee as I did for the hours after it was dumped. I feel sort of glutinous, like I'm

Hide and Seek

Over the past few weeks, while I've been only half paying attention, my backyard flowerbeds have been totally taken over by bluebells. At first I was fairly pleased to see them full up with lovely green lush growth; however, slowly (but definitely surely) they have become totally overtaken

Der Blumenladen

Der Blumenladen How ingenious is this: a flower shop where rather than buying cut flowers, you buy photos of plant bits that are then constructed into 3-Dimensional arrangements. Wolf Klein's Der Blumenladen (The Flower Shop) is part old-school flower shop, part mad

Just in Time for the Weekend!

Okay, so not all of us are quite. . .ummm. . .physically prepared for the gardening season. One day out planting veggies equals 2 days inside vegging out, sore and slightly grumpy.   Come on, now.  You're thrifty, you're crafty, you're talented, you can do anything! (Except for move your sore tush.)
