My name is Jacqueline Joseph, and I am from Toronto, Canada. I am an avid gardener and have been gardening for the past 21 years. I started this garden from scratch, as it was a brand-new home. It has been an evolution, and the joy I get from it is indescribable. My garden is my sanctuary, and I would love to share some pictures.
