Many of you will know me from my garden store,
Hortus Urbanus
which I ran for ten years between 1997 and 2007 in Ottawa.
Now I garden for clients, design and renovate gardens, write a garden column for the Ottawa Citizen newspaper and find time to walk and play with my border collie dog, Skye.
And when I’m not gardening or walking the dog or writing, I’m either down south or dreaming of being down south.

My kind of garden shop. How about opening one over here in Scotland (within a 50 mile radius of Montrose)……
Sorry to see you’re not running it anymore. There is a Hortus Ornamenti over here selling wonderful garden tools etc over here http://www.hortusornamenti.co.uk/

Thank you Janet :c)
I’d love to come to Scotland; but can I just come visit and not open a store?! ;c)
I am actually familiar with Hortus Ornamenti; I found it online as inspiration before I opened my store. Beautiful stuff there.

I have just moved to Ottawa from Alberta. I have a 1950′s home with mature shrubs and a shady back yard. I am an experienced gardener but each move has its own learning curve. I have been told by a dog walking friend of yours that it may be possible to discuss a few issues with you.
