Helping our Planet One Garden at a Time
2025-12-05
Sylvia and I have always been interested in wildlife, nature and gardens. Sylvia was brought up in the great white north of B.C. and spent most of her young days exploring the outdoors with her brothers and sisters, enjoying the nature and wildlife. I was brought up in England, and we had a large country garden that was stocked with a huge variety of both common and rare species. We often had visitors in to see our plants. My father was an influential ornithologist and conservationist, and he instilled the principles of those fields in his children. We loved the outdoors and wildlife, and I especially found huge enjoyment in watching and identifying the birds around me.
