Grounded - Haliburton

Today we're looking back to the second keynote presentation from the Watersheds Canada National Conference, delivered by Mark Cullen, Canada's Gardening Guru!

“I think we’re all looking for meaning outside of the muck, outside of the fabricated world that we sometimes immerse ourselves in. And we’re all slowly discovering what we’ve really known all along - that you need to get outside to look inward.”

So happy that our very own hosted the first Watersheds Canada conference. Terrific connections and knowledge, and Grounded was very happy to exhibit there.

Yes, deer, did you enjoy my Lanceleaf Coreopsis? No, I didn't want those lovely yellow flowers.

This deer is at Lucas House, where I am learning to live with her and her daughter.

Right plant, very right (deer friendly) place. I'll be writing about this in my newsletter that comes out in a couple of weeks. Go to my website to sign up!

Shameless plug for Grounded's newsletter, which comes out Saturday. This ain't your usual spam. I humbly believe it's interesting and useful. Indeed, sometimes I think it's the heart of what I do because it's the best way to spread the word. Sign up at https://groundedgardens.ca/grounded-natural-gardens-newsletter/
