Hi everyone!

I am a beginner gardener with a love for all things green :D I just moved into my first house with a garden this past July, having missed out on Spring gardening.

I am a 24 year old administrative assistant, living in Canada’s National Capital, in the SW ’burbs of Barrhaven. I knit, sew, make lampwork beads, jewelry, run an online store (dirtyprettythings.etsy.com), bellydance and so much more. My boyfriend, Pat, keeps me company in our house, with our two cats (Byron the Maine Coon, and Cole the black long-hair), two snakes (Pele, the Volcano Cornsnake and Salazar, the Peublan Milk Snake) and one dog (Maddie, a German Shepard/Rotti mix).
