Hello fellow gardeners. If you're coming from today's Globe and Mail article, the full story about the tobacco gardener is here. If you'd like seeds, I've got loads (I'm not going to grow them) and am happy to pass them on Up and Coming Events
Spring is (supposedly) here in Toronto, which means it's time to start talking about gardening! As a result, I've got a bunch of confirmed events on the roster in Toronto over the next few weeks.
Seed-Starting You Grow Girl Seedling Growing Collective
Hey Toronto! Let's grow some seedlings together!
I posted about this in the forums but wanted to push it here as well since seed starting season in Toronto is happening NOW.
So here's the deal: I've managed to On My Gardening Bookshelves
I recently did an interview with Mari Malcolm of the Amazon blog about the garden books I keep on my own bookshelf. It was a fun interview to do. I love, love, love books and Personal Histories
Phew, that was fast. I put the finishing touches on an article late last night and it is already up on the Guardian website. This one, about the relationship between myself and my maternal grandmother is a bit more personal than usual and I am still
Seedy Saturday Toronto 2009
The best gardening event of the year, Seedy Saturday Toronto is coming up this week! This year it's in a new venue and at a new time, which should be interesting. Once again I will have EYE Magazine - October 18, 2008
"Green Thumbs Up: The Surprisingly Soothing Results of Ground-level Activism"
The full article can be seen on the EYE website. Warm Winter Wear Drive 2008 Reminder
Just a reminder that the date to get your items shipped out is approaching. I originally said Dec 1 but have decided to give it until Dec 5 because I have been so behind in answering Food for Freedom
I'm going to be giving another presentation on Guerrilla Gardening tomorrow at the Style at Home Show as a part of Eco Day. The gardening presentations start at noon. Mine will be at 2pm.
Here's the write-up:
Learn about the many ways that people are "greening the
Warm Winter Wear Drive 2008
Winter is approaching (NOOOOOOOOO!!!) and it is actually starting to get cold out there. Real cold. I have worn hand warmers while walking. Soon it will be full mittens or gloves. Biking now requires a woolen hat that can cover the ears. The horror.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Community Gardening Guide
I'm very proud to have co-produced the cover photograph for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden's "Community Gardening" guide alongside my partner Davin Risk. Yep, that's my soiled hand and a bouquet of sage held up at our Taste T.O. Interview
“What that kind of attitude and approach is saying over and over again is that gardening is not for you; you don’t belong here.”
I met up with Teresa Cheng a few weeks ago for lunch at my favourite long-time local eatery, Cafe Bernate for an in-person interview
Columbus, OHIO
I will be traveling to Columbus, Ohio next week to be on a panel at the Ohio Floraculture Association's "Short Course" conference. As a result I have set some time aside to see the city and take in Roof Garden, Slightly Less Chaos

This is a panoramic of the roof garden taken just this week. There are a lot more plants out there then I was able to get into a composite. Unfortunately Ascent Magazine - June 2008
I was recently profiled in Ascent Magazine's sustainability issue. This article is the result of one of the best interviews/conversations I have ever had the pleasure of taking part in. I kind of wish we could read the interview although I'd imagine CBC News at Six
The CBC News at Six sent over videographer Michael Dick this morning to shoot a segment on the rising trend in growing food gardens on roof tops for what I believe is tonight's news. I guess I should have asked.
BIG Buttons!
For years I've been trying to convince Davin that a big button press would revolutionize our world. Small buttons are fun and have their purpose, but big buttons offer up a whole new world of possibilities. Big buttons remind me of special Metro Morning Radio
I'm going to be on the Metro Morning show tomorrow morning at 6:30 am talking about urban gardening. The decision to do this was made under what can only be described as influenced by a fleeting moment of temporary insanity. I am very much NOT
San Francisco: USF Talk on Garden Literacy
I'll be traveling to San Francisco this week to hug some palm trees and give a talk at the University of San Francisco to a group of students on the topic of Garden Literacy. The talk is open to the public
