Much has happened since I wrote this post about our Bloggers Give Back project to transform the garden of George Herman House in Toronto.
Landscape Expert
We were looking for a landscape designer to come on board to donate their time, energy and savvy garden design skills. We are happy ecstatic to announce that person is none other than….Frank Ferragine, aka Frankie Flowers. Without hesitation and with a ton of enthusiasm he came on board. You may know Frankie from his appearances on Breakfast Television and Cityline as a gardening and weather expert. He and his partner Beth Edney, a landscape designer in their company Teamscape will be designing the garden. I can’t wait to see what they come up with! Stay tuned.
Oh, and that’s Frankie on the cover of his new book. Click here to purchase.
Online Auction
We are holding an ebay auction to raise funds for the project. The auction went live last night and will continue for ten days. Please click here to view the items and bid. There is something for everyone – including original art, a pretty accessory and even a night out in TO. Thanks to all the generous artists and companies who donated. Click on their site (listed under the item) to learn more about them.

Off to check out your auction….

April 15, 2011Thanks Kelly. Beth is actually a partner in his landscape business not his partner in life! Guess it wasn’t clear. I think his wife is a realtor up north where they live.
