Production of the “Garden Love” video, the potting bench display, the Garden Making bookmarks, and the Garden Making Garden Know How series is made possible with the support of the Ontario Media Development Corp.
It would be nice if you showed us a picture of the potting bench as it was displayed at Canada Blooms, too.
Thanks for the suggestion, Susan. We’ve just now posted a photo of the plant-filled bench.
