"I am basically a mad gardener, gardening in a comparatively large garden in Toronto with lots of shade, deer and groundhogs. I love shrubs, bulbs, rock gardening, wildflowers, Japanese ef-fects, working with stone and changing my garden design. I would like to grow vegetables if only the deer and groundhogs would permit."
