About Tara Nolan
Three years ago I bought a cute little bungalow (I like to refer to it as a cottage) with a pretty decent front and backyard—my own little paradise in the city. Since we moved in winter, my first summer was a game of waiting to see what sprouted up–and then trying to figure out if it was plant or weed. What a learning experience it has been—and sometimes an overwhelming one—as I often look around my yard trying to figure out what area needs my TLC first! I’ve discovered that puttering around in my garden is so calming and a nice retreat from my busy life—when my busy life (and the weather) don’t interrupt my plans to garden! Though I wistfully aspire to perfection, I am comfortable with the fact that my gardens are a work in progress—they inspire me to learn more about gardening techniques and plants—and how not to kill them.
This blog will allow me to share my gardening adventures—trial and error, successes and disappointments. And because I am still a newbie, I have enlisted Canadian Gardening’s horticultural editor, Anne Marie Van Nest to help me out with my gardening dilemmas from time to time. I hope to inspire other budding gardeners to grab a pair of gloves and start playing in the dirt!
If you’ve got some wisdom to share—or a novice question, please post a comment!
