I have assignments every week in the garden drafting course, and a very challenging ongoing garden design project in the planting design course. Part 1 was submitted last night, so I have about
30 seconds breathing space to write this. With lu
ck and good planning, I’ll be able to report on some of the things I’ve learned so far. Sarah and I also owe you a post on the entertaining and informative Matthew Wilson.
In the meantime, please enjoy this little close-up of a rare Toronto 2010 snowfall on an arrangement at the Toronto Botanical Garden. Snow made a reappearance in the city last night, but its stay will be all too brief.

Helen, I look forward to seeing some of the results of your courses. A winter well worth it! 🙂
I think of you often, there in your accredited university garden design course, as I stand out in my beds and contemplate wildly winging it yet another year and moving the X to "that other bed" on the off chance that it'll work better there. Some class notes would be grand when you get a chance.
Ms. S — it has been a challenging, humbling and enlightening way to spend a winter. Kind of wonderful and scary at the same time.
Kelly — Wildly winging is my mode de vie! One of the biggest things I've learned in these courses is that I have a lot of bad habits to break, and as any nail-biter knows, changing bad habits can be the work of a lifetime. So, never fear: no magic wands are being waved… over me, nor over my garden.
I took the easy course at George Brown, and I found That a lot of work. I can't imagine what you are going through!
Good Luck!
Helen, I too look forward to hearing what you have learned in your courses. Despite all the work I sure it will be worth it.
