30 Days of Native Plant Love, a special month-long Stewardship adventure
One of my favourite childhood memories was being kicked out of the house by my young mother to search for food. Here was the deal: we had to fill up the ice cream bucket.

Column: Moving past lip service on women’s issues
I came, chubby-cheeked and reluctant, to the realisation that if I was ever going to find the seat of my own power, I had to embrace the smell of my own sweat.

#Wellness Reads: The Encyclopedia of Country Living
Driving home from Squamish one day, 20 or more years ago, I was listening to The Almanac on CBC radio. The topic was small acreages and people going back to the land.
