I've always been interested in plants. From a young age my father taught me the names of the wild flowers and my grandma showed me how to garden so when I moved to Canada after my marriage and got my own garden, I had to learn all the plant names in English. Realizing that the botanical name of plants is universal, it made sense to learn the Latin names as well.

As an avid life-long learner my garden has been my inspiration and teacher. After more than thirty years of gardening in Canada and a lot of interest from people asking me how I did it, I decided to share my knowledge with everyone who's interested in learning how to garden.
