Description
The focus is on people in Garden Making issue 31 – the garden makers of Canada’s past, present and future. The cover is a first for Garden Making – a photo of a person rather than a plant or garden scene. We’ve identified 20 individuals and organizations as examples of Canada’s “green gang” — people who care deeply about horticulture, community and the environment, and the connections between gardening and a healthy planet.

- Echeveria flowers
