The year was 1974. The place was Canada. Pierre Trudeau was Prime Minister, basketball phenom Steve Nash was born, and Tim Horton died. This was also the year that Mark Mager opened the doors of Woodcraft in Canada.
[Home & Gardens] Spring revival
Birds chirping. Trees budding. Flower beds a riot of early perennial colour. And there’s you, navigating a path around all your things so you can witness the splendour through the living room window. Time for a spring revival! But where to begin?...
[Home & Gardens] Buffalo's Garden Walk
On weekends the downtown core of most big cities is pretty quiet. Not surprisingly, at 9 a.m. on the last Saturday of July the streets of Buffalo, New York are empty too. But not for long.

There are other more interesting options that can take the garden into winter looking as good as it did throughout the summer....
[Home & Gardens] Oshawa Valley — Canada's newest botanical garden
It’s early afternoon in mid-June with lots of bright light thanks to a cloudless sky, one of those days where there’s a quality in the air that promises we are on the cusp of summer. Gardens everywhere are bursting with bloom and one of my favourites places at this time of year is the Oshawa Valley Botanical Garden (OVBG,) an impressive park-like space and a hidden jewel located smack dab in the middle of the city of Oshawa. The OVBG is Canada’s newest botanical garden and one of Durham Region’s best kept secrets, yet to be discovered by many....
