This week, we’re visited by two of the coolest ladies gardening in Southern Alberta; Sheryl Normandeau and Janet Melrose! They are the coauthors of the popular “Prairie Gardeners Go To” series! In a digital world full of general information, their books provide specific knowledge for gardening in climates like Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Plus, everything they write about is based on their own experience including the photographs taken in their very own gardens!
We’re so excited to chat with them to learn more about their latest book, “grasses” and how it’s all around us… ornamental, ponds, lawns and food!
