| Gardens North | Their primary business
is the production and sale of hardy native and exotic seeds. They produce yearly retail and wholesale catalogues containing a wide selection of unusual herbaceous and woody plants. They supply seed to individual gardeners, commercial growers, botanic gardens as well as other seed houses. Seed is grown on site and also collected in the wild. While their business is strictly mail-order, their special "Connoisseur" seed packs are available at select gardening shops throughout Canada. |

Botanical Illustration |

| Sharon Morris Kincheloe | See her botanical illustrations in the June, 2006 newsletter. Sharon's work includes botanical drawings and etchings. She also draws insects occasionally. The limited edition prints are done from their original colored-pencil drawings and printed on 100% acid free museum quality paper. The etchings are hand engraved in drypoint, inked, and hand-pulled through the etching press. The etchings are then hand-painted with watercolor. | |
