Description

Garden Making focuses on what we’re calling The New Natural Garden in issue #30. We explore ideas and suggestions to encourage gardeners to let nature help guide the design of their gardens.

“When you stop to think about it, making a garden is an unnatural process,” writes Editor-in-Chief Beckie Fox in her editor’s column. “I hope this issue’s theme helps add to the understanding of how our gardens can be more of a partner with nature.”

Articles about the theme include:

  • “Can We Embrace the New Natural?” by Belinda Gallagher, an instructor at the University of Guelph in Ontario.
  • “Wild-ish at Heart,” by Tony Spencer, who has studied naturalistic gardens around the world and writes TheNewPerennialist.com
  • “Invite Wildness,” an excerpt from her new book, Grow Curious: Creative Activities to Cultivate Joy, by Gayla Trail of Toronto, who posts on YouGrowGirl.com.
  • “Splendour of Our Native Grasses,” by Stephen Westcott-Gratton, with 10 suggestions for gorgeous native grasses.

Other articles in the issue include:

  • Cilantro’s time to shine, by Laura Langston
  • The beauty of wildflower bouquets, by Janet Davis
  • Grand garden parties to mark Canada’s 150th, by Heather White
  • Garden profile of a modern classic, by Liz Primeau
  • Subtle charms of sanguisorbas, by Lorraine Flanigan
  • Tackling tree pests and diseases, by Stephen Westcott-Gratton
  • A sense of place, by Karen York

We also asked nine Canadians to write about gardens that inspired them and have contributions from:

  • Helen Battersby, garden coach and blogger at TorontoGardens.com
  • Janet Davis, photographer at the paintboxgarden.com
  • David Hobson, garden columnist for the Waterloo Region Record in Ontario
  • Colleen Zacharias, garden columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press
  • Veronica Sliva, garden and travel writer at gardenersworld.ca
  • Rob Howard, garden columnist for the Hamilton Spectator
  • Niki Jabbour, author, blogger at SavvyGardening.com and Halifax radio show host
  • Mark Cullen, author, columnist and radio show host, at MarkCullen.com
  • Trudy Duivenvoorden Mitic, columnist for Focus magazine in Victoria
