Letters to the editor

First, I want to say how much I enjoy the Local Gardener Magazine and that is why I was re-reading the issue from last year Volume 2: Issue 1

There is an error in the identification of a plant on page 28. No doubt somebody else caught this months ago, but just in case.

You label the plant "Canadian wild ginger" but it is actually a white violet plant. Wild ginger leaves look similar to that, but the flower is red and at ground level, very inconspicuous.

You have an eagle eye, Marjorie Hughes! Thank you for the correction.

Picked up the magazine at the grocery store and happily read it, front to back! Nice. You asked for feedback.

Well, I have to admit that I was really, really, really not pleased with the feature from Durham, Ontario, The Knowlton's place. Yes, it was beautiful and relaxing but so miscategorised!! A forest is a forest,

a garden is a garden. The whole article regarding their place, did not belong, in my opinion, in a Beautiful Gardens magazine. It should have been in a cottage, or regular home magazine. Given that, it was awesome though. Having said that, the following article by Victoria Beattie in Calgary more than made up for the other! Now that is gardening! Flowers, shrubs, hostas, wisteria, that lady rocks gardening, and takes it to soaring heights! Sorry, I couldn't resist the pun. Keep up the beautiful work, Victoria!! And God bless Helen Hogue for her flowers, et cetera, but mainly for being guardian of butterflies, and teaching about them! Beautiful flowers! This white violet was misidentified as Canadian wild Finally, Roy Morris's place! ginger in a previous issue. The foliage is very similar, but… mea culpa. Gorgeous! My kind of landscape! All in all, I will purchase the magazine again, keep up the good work, Shauna! Stay safe! Catherine Knox, Kelowna BC
