Today's consumers, even many farm families, no longer produce much food. It's easier to get lettuce at the store than to grow it in your garden. It's less work to buy a can of beans than to pick and freeze your own. There are things all of us can do. Living in town, I can't raise a cow. But I can find a farmer from whom to buy a quarter of beef, or I can locate a butcher who sells local meat. Those without garden space might try container gardening, if they have a deck, or in summer they can buy produce at a farmers' market -- in quantity if there's time to deal with it. Studies have shown that the average distance travelled by food items for the American table is 2,400 kilometres. In Canada, it's probably farther. If we choose to buy at least some of our food locally, surely we can red...

That's the premise behind Sharlene Nielsen's new business venture, Front Door Stories, a customized service that specializes in creating a warm welcome to a home or business by providing dramatic, low-maintenance container arrangements that reflect the owner's unique style and personality. Nielsen's business is built on a strong gardening foundation. A Winnipegger, Nielsen recalls as a child planting with her grandfather at their Manitoba cottage.

Nielsen worked in a large B.C garden centre and was responsible for the hanging basket department that contracted for Earls' restaurants, Longsdale Key and other Vancouver hot spots. She also toiled at one poi...

I wouldn't want it to be any other way," said [Gail Vandersteen], who along with [Wally Satzewich] will give a free presentation tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Crossways in Common, 222 Furby St., presented by the Manitoba Food Charter. "It was just more lucrative," laughed Vandersteen, who first met Satzewich as a farmers' market customer before the two wed in 1991. "That sort of operation is more or less suited for large family operations, or a corporate type set-up," said Satzewich. "As a couple of people, we just weren't prepared for what it entailed.

Windows are not something I write about with the exception as to how to cover them beautifully, but if you're in the market for windows for a home you're building or replacement windows for an existing home, you certainly won't be disappointed by the wonderful displays. It's as close as having them installed in your home prior to buying that one can get. The realistic layouts in this showroom are just fantastic. The showroom even offers home exterior displays complete with bricks, siding and working entrance doors so you get the entire experience. Stop in and have a look around. I'm sure you'll gain some good décor ideas while you're there. Gifts like a BBQ apron complete with BBQ tools or garden apron complete with gardening tools bundled up for gift giving are great ideas for Mother's...
