Ryoko has her own small company doing tree trimming, garden planning and various workshops (like tree trimming for seniors) and sometimes does a gig teaching children and their parents about gardening using a couple plots in the parking lot of a grocery store (who sponsor the event).
The amazing Ryoko sharing packets of seeds wrapped in origami paper with a group of kids and their parents – Today’s lesson is leafy greens
Anyhow, i tagged along to see her in action, drink coffee and do a bit of grocery shopping at the awesome store (plus take care of our household recycling while we were there).

Now harvesting daikon from last times’ lesson – Gardens can be anywhere as it turns out, even in a corner of a parking lot of a grocery store across from store
Lady at the bus stop looks on… also, no one seems to pilfer from the garden…home centre visit yielded mesh and arches – with some rocks, these will protect the sprouts into plants. note: this was all planted in november, i am still working to understand the seasons here it seems
We also popped over a home centre where she purchased a few things for the garden and i loaded up on canning jars for my pickling projects.
In case you forgot, i am Dave (note name written in Hiragana rather the Katakana which is used for foreign words just to be contrary to the usual :)).
