While my in-person presentation was …
Probably my favourite part about giving presentations and running workshops is the one-on-one chatting that happens with fellow gardeners and aspiring gardeners afterward. I love those moments connecting directly with other people who share the same excitement and passion. I love hearing about what they’re doing and the look of satisfaction on their faces is …

I’m at Disney World right now, where I will be giving talks on growing delicious and gorgeous food in small spaces until Thursday afternoon as a part of the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. Yes, you read that correctly. You are not hallucinating. Or perhaps you are? Or perhaps I am. Maybe those bottles of …
Hello Friends, This isn’t the sort of thing I normally post, or would make public so early in the process, but I need some help so here it goes… I am working with a team to create a new television program (I am the host) and we need to shoot some footage. Unfortunately, it is …
It’s that time of year, again. Seedy Saturday and Sunday events have begun across Canada in anticipation of the gardening season.
