Landscaping Help for a Toronto Gardener

By Kathy Purdy September 16, 2007 – Posted in: Miscellaneous

Beth Lawrence of Grow See This and her landscape firm Common Ground, are offering to do a landscape job at cost price for one individual or group. As Beth relates

Maybe it’s someone you know who is elderly, or has other physical challenges. Or perhaps a bunch of renters, whose landlord is too thrifty to do anything with the jungle in the back yard and there is no common area for being able to just sit out side.

Contact her by October 10th.

Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: September

What differentiates a bulb from a perennial plant is that the nourishment for the flower is stored within the bulb itself.…There is something miraculous about the way that a little grenade of dried up tissue can explode into a complete flower.

I see it has been a while since you have posted here. Hopefully you are still around. Keep up the good work

Way to go Kathy. I think that is an awesome and wonderful thing that you are doing for someone in need. There are many elderly people in need who can’t afford to have their yards taken care of just because of the cost of prescriptions. Doing it for cost is really special. Thumbs up to ya.
