Hi Emma, I’ve been wondering about where you were in the world for a couple of years and I’ve finally found out! You have a wonderful website and I really enjoyed exploring it, especially from a Gr. 5 teacher’s perspective. I remember how beautiful your mom’s garden was and am happy to hear that it’s still growing.

I hope everything is going well,

Justine

Just me again,

Was having a blue morn and decided to get some hort therapy to help the cool, overcast and rainy day feel better.

So-o-o-o-o, I sat myself down at my computer with a steamy cuppa hazelnut/ginger/peach tea and viewed the 250 odd photos in your Photostream; wonderful therapy that was!

Thanks so much for the work of love and dedication you show, Emma. I feel better now and will get on with my day – hort therapy works in its myriad guises!!!

Take care and keep growing,
Rose Naomi

Comment on path to the Rouge by thehortlady

Now that is what I call a pathway! Like you, Emma, I use the natural abundance that is provided for us to create what I feel fits best. Such beauty naturally exists that it is often times almost too much for me to take in … awesomeness that astounds me over and over.

As I am a visual, hands-on learner your photos of the pathway immediately transported me into them and my senses came alive as a smile of bliss spread across my whole self.

Thank you for a fantabulous vacation from what had begun as a rather ‘lonely’ morn!

Take care and keep growing,

Emma,

This is a beautiful poem.

Just checking into your Blog. Drop me a quick line when you are able – curious to know how things are going and how you are!

Aaron was in Vancouver but sadly it was all work and no play and had no time me to call anyone. He says hello.

Sending love your way as spring approaches.

Love,
Ju

The quote was very touching and points directly to what we learn and value as horticultural therapists..definitely one that would have meaning for many… Thanks for sharing this essence with others.. nature/ garden lovers and lovers of life.
I am here..I am here. Jacqui

Hi Emma,

I read this book years ago and I must say it was one of the most significant and awareness expanding books I ever read. It moved me into my own roots and I truly understood for the first time the natural movement to life and love.

Your selection of this excerpt captures the spirit of the book so well. Your Dad, in choosing this story has revealed the book’s essence especially for those that never experienced beauty and love while embroiled in such human suffering.

Be well, keep writing and posting, talk soon,
your friend,
Brent

Hello
It is great to see your pictures and read your dialogue.
I am really glad that you are enjoying your journey.
I hope that you are doing well. You are missing a “ton” of snow here.
It seems like it has been a long winter. The Julien Courtyard garden is under much snow.
The Trillium Proposal is finally submitted 38 pages.
It was not too difficult to do and I am very grateful for your guidance and direction with it.
In the final analysis, that is what kept me on track when answering the questions. A professional proposal writter reviewed it and said it was an excellent proposal. We were able to get reference/ support letters from Ignatius, Homewood, and Trellis ( Community Mental Health Clinic)
It has been a very tiring process but glad to have it off my desk now.. hence I have a little time to connect with you.
Keep well.
David and I hope to get away for a little break over Easter w.e. He is very busy too but managing o.k. Doing much travelling.
Cheers, Sharon
