My garden Lilac Hill is located on the West Coast of Canada nestled into the rocky hills of Mowat Bay. After a year of taming the land I can now grow many things including herbaceous perennials, pretty annuals many from seeds, I do container vegetable gardening and container rose gardening because of the deer. There are also trees, shrubs and herbs. I focus on plants that will provide benefit for the wildlife. Also for wildlife the garden has birdhouses, bug hotels, food and various water sources. The garden is 1/4 acre in zone 8. When I am not gardening I am planning new beds and structures, organizing my many plants on a spreadsheet, reading about plants or watching other gardeners on YouTube. There is always something new to learn and I want to share my gardening knowledge and experiences with other gardeners. I also enjoy tea in the garden as many plants are steeped in tea culture. Lilac Hill is not only my garden it's my life!
