Social distancing rules have meant that we are all spending a lot more time at home, and gardening is one way to lift your spirits during isolation. My backyard and square-foot garden are looking a little unloved right now, but I’m happily doodling plans in my notebook of the bounty to come—assuming the squirrels and rabbits don’t get to it first.
Find seeds, seedlings, pots, plants, soil and everything you need to get started with these garden centres in the Bay of Quinte region. Oh, and if you don’t have any outdoor space to get growing, check out these tips for growing herbs in your window sill.
