I am a friendly, lifelong Alberta gardener; having (mostly) retired from teaching, I spend time walking my dog, cycling, and digging in other people's gardens. All I have ever needed to know about gardening I learned from the Lois Hole series of books, but if I don't know the answer to your gardening question, I won't pretend that I do! I love to chit chat and take my time getting to know people, but I am always conscious of visiting on my dime--not yours.
