Landscaping Help for a Toronto Gardener

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.

About

Kathy Purdy discovered the joys of writing in fourth grade, when she started corresponding with a former classmate. She's been writing letters ever since, first on looseleaf, then electronically, and now as weblog entries. That makes you, the blog reader, her pen pal. Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. • USDA Hardiness Zone:4 • AHS Heat Zone: 3 • Location: rural; Southern Tier of NY • Geographic type: foothills of Appalachian Mountains • Soil Type: acid clay • Experience level: intermediate • Particular interests: colchicums, narcissus, cottage gardening, NY native plants, gardening with/for children

Seeing a plant that you have known only in catalogues is like recognizing a celebrity in a crowd.

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.

Rose, you need to contact Beth directly. I only know what I read on the website, and from that I gather the offer is for someone in Beth’s vicinity.

Is this offer only for someone who lives in Toronto?
