I’m really pleased. Why wouldn’t I be?\u00a0The article is a wow<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Regular readers may be familiar with this sculpture since I’ve written about it several times<\/a> and about the process of\u00a0creating it<\/a>. Newer readers may be seeing it for the first time. Whichever, I hope you will celebrate along\u00a0with me as this memorial to an old and honoured\u00a0maple tree is presented to a larger audience.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I’m delighted that Garden Design is offering readers a chance to receive one free issue with a new subscription<\/a>.\u00a0This is the first time I’ve endorsed any commercial product and I thought carefully before doing this. But Garden Design Magazine is worth supporting. With high calibre articles about gardens and issues related to gardening, it’s even worth promoting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Garden Design caught my attention with an article by Lindsay Taylor about the Reford Gardens in M\u00e9tis, Qu\u00e9bec.\u00a0As someone who gardens in Quebec and who is a big fan of\u00a0the Reford Gardens and its\u00a0International Garden Festival, I was delighted to see this garden treasure presented to an international audience.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Each issue has pieces that capture my attention. Le Jardin Plume, one of my favourite French gardens, was featured in an issue last fall. Drought-proof gardens featured in another issue and while a shortage of water is not an issue for me at Glen Villa — we have plenty of rain in the summer months — as a responsible, ecologically-minded gardener I know that the careless use of water is a bad idea, wherever you live.<\/p>\n

There’s more on this topic in the current on-line edition. In an excerpt from her new book\u00a0The Water-Saving Garden<\/em>\u00a0Pam Penick writes about creating the illusion of water by using plants.\u00a0Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

So, thank you Garden Design, for great articles. And thank you for such a great piece about Tree Rings.<\/p>\n
