I've been doing a bunch of seeds trades, apparently facebook is the place to connect with Canadian seed swaps, I would be open to small seeds swaps to Europe, USA, and possibly other places.

I'm slowly getting used to the cold winter.

I made a wreath using the trees in my garden. The base is made of rolled olive branches, and the other materials are conifers, nandina berries.
