Sean and I Talk Shop

This podcast-style chat is a preview of the book as well as an inside look into how two professional rain garden builders see the world. I also wanted to tell Sean the real reason I asked him to write the foreword...

How to get a copy...

Available now on Amazon

For those who prefer to avoid shopping with Amazon they will be available through my website in the coming days.

​

Buying directly from Amazon helps the book rank higher so more people can see it and the rain garden word gets spread far and wide. It also cuts down on shipping emissions as they're printed to order and shipped directly to your door.

Win the first copy of The Modern Rain Garden II

Someone is going to win a clean water-themed package that also includes:

• The Modern Rain Garden II: Scrape, Shape, and Plant
• GROSCHE Milano espresso mocha pot
• A banded AVESI hoodie
• $100 Charitable Donation to Ducks Unlimited Canada

GROSCHE is a Canadian Espresso company that uses profits to fund the GROSCHE SAFE WATER PROJECT - installing water filters to provide those in economically underdeveloped regions with reliable access to clean water.

Ducks Unlimited Canada has been busy restoring wetlands across Ontario. If you aren't familiar with the work they've been doing lately in creating wetlands check it out below and spread the word to get more wetlands restored.

Garden Journey's Open Days at AVESI Head Quarters

I have applied for the Rain Ready rebate through The City of Hamilton and Green Venture and signed our place up for the Garden Journey Open Days through the Halton Master Gardeners. Learn more at the link below...

The backyard we did in 2023 and it's now time to transform our rather bleak-looking front yard with a new rain garden, native plants, dry creek beds, and some of those flagstone bridges I've been incorporating into our designs lately.

That's all for now,

Michael
