Invite your municipality to Proclaim
2022 the Year of the Garden

Vancouver, Red Deer, Winnipeg, Niagara Falls, Sainte-Julie, Halifax, and many more Canadian cities have proclaimed 2022 the Year of the Garden, committing to be a Garden-Friendly city and celebrating our National Garden Day.

If your city hasn’t made a proclamation, you can nudge your councillor or mayor to join the movement. Get started by sending this invitationproclamation template or presentation explaining why you feel your municipality should celebrate the Year of the Garden 2022.

Garden writer and blogger, author of 65 gardening books, lecturer and communicator, the Laidback Gardener, Larry Hodgson, passed away in October 2022. Known for his great generosity, his thoroughness and his sense of humor, he reached several generations of amateur and professional gardeners over his 40-year career. Thanks to his son, Mathieu Hodgson, and a team of contributors, laidbackgardener.blog will continue its mission of demystifying gardening and making it more accessible to all.
