Cold? Need to feel a little warmth? This little prism will open your mind and transport you to a desert landscape far away from all this snow! I’ve filmed a lot of planters in the last year, but this one is a favourite. If you like it too, check it out here.
This spring I’ve been producing videos, taking photos and writing articles for a nursery, garden and lifestyle store near White Rock called West Coast Gardens.
Living in the city I often forget how sublime the drive through the lower mainland can be and how close to agriculture we are. When I arrive it’s to a magical place where the air could be bottled and sold – it’s really that fragrant.
While working there I’ve been gleaning wisdom from expert gardeners on topics like, Drought Resistant Plants, Growing Tomatoes and (coming soon) Plants for Pollinators and sharing it on the The West Coast Gardens Blog.
The most fun projects for me have been making videos of planter builds and about garden care. It’s hard to choose a favourite video, but The Waltz of the Hanging Baskets seems to be getting the most votes. You can see them all on West Coast Gardens’ Vimeo page.
Isn’t this succulent planter sweet? Another little video “How To” video for West Coast Gardens.

Happy Easter from myself and from West Coast Gardens! I’ve started to do some feature writing and videos for this lovely greenhouse and garden store. It’s a beautiful destination just outside of White Rock. The staff is so kind, friendly and knowledgeable you are sure to find perfect plants no matter what you are looking for. What I really love about West Coast Gardens is their focus on Education – take a look at their upcoming classes. You might see me there!
