WHY THIS SITE?
One of the great gifts we have on the North Shore is the number of people living here who are expert in a vast array of gardening specialties and who are frequently approached for guidance, direction and advice. There is also a large number of very knowledgeable, thoughtful and imaginative private gardeners here. The horticultural arm of Dalhousie University’s Agricultural Campus in Truro is not too far away either
It seemed to us, therefore, that it would make complete sense to gather together all these local gardening resources – human and otherwise – in one place, and provide a platform for everyone who might be interested to share information and advice.
You can advertise your gardening wares or services. You can ask questions. You can offer solutions. You can write articles.
Those who are new to gardening can access all sorts of useful information. Old hands can share their secrets learned over the years. Experts can answer the really knotty questions.
We do hope that as many of you as possible will suggest content, offer your expertise, ask and answer questions, and contribute in any way you can think of to make the site as useful as possible.
One size definitely does not fit all when it comes to gardening advice, and so we hope the local framework of our site will prove valuable to everyone who loves gardening in this thriving little corner of Nova Scotia.
