Be the first to comment!By the Way: The Golden Rule
By Rev. Jim Hillson on July 6th, 2019

By Bev Crawford on July 6th, 2019
I talk to many stressed gardeners at the Windmill Garden Centre during the growing season. Baggies of diseased leaves, photos of trees with die-back, and cedars turning brown are discussed regularly.
