Larry studied modern languages at University and lives in Québec City, so he speaks French far more often than English, thus, why he writes his blog in both French and English. Throughout the years, he studied horticulture voraciously and still does through reading and testing. Larry started writing articles for gardening magazines as a sideline until it became a career. Larry’s climate is a cold one (USDA hardiness zone 3, AgCan hardiness zone 4) with snow for about 6 months each winter, so he writes a lot about cold-climate gardening … but also about just about any other aspect of gardening.

They now have a total of 19 beds for annual vegetables & flowers, 3 asparagus beds as well as several fruit trees and berry bushes. The numerous perennial borders on our one-acre property are also in a perpetual state of expansion…or so it seems 😉 Margaret’s philosophy? Gardening is more about the journey than the destination.

The first post appeared in February 2017 and new topics are posted on the first and fifteenth of every month. Duane studied Landscape Architecture before earning a degree in Radio/Television and has served the marketing communications needs of green industry clients since 1970.

As a confessed hortiholic, she admits that her eyes are too big for her yard. You just can’t have enough plants. She feeds the birds, provides them with sources of water, and if she’d complete the inventory and application form, her landscape could be a certified Backyard Wildlife Habitat. One of these days it will be official. She considers herself a seat-of-the-pants, trial-and-error gardener and shares her experience and advice in her blog The Hoosier Gardener.
