In this week's episode of Down the Garden Path, Matt and Joanne welcome author Sarah Battersby to discuss the 2022 Toronto & Golden Horseshoe Gardener’s Journal, now celebrating its 30th year. This wonderful publication will help both you and your garden stay organized for the new year.
About Sarah Battersby
Along with coaxing anything to grow in her dry-shade city rock garden,
Sarah has been carving a cultivated space out of a forest of lilacs
and sumachs at her schoolhouse in Hastings County for 30 years.
Sarah got the gardening bug with indoor plants as a teenager,
co-writes at TorontoGardens.com and is particularly interested in planting for
wildlife and for scent. She wishes she’d never planted that
goutweed.
