Hi From Di in olde St. John's, NewfoundlandWelcome to Di Herb Lady's Garden in the heart of olde St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada!
They call me the Herb Lady because I have a home based business called HERBS AND GARDEN THINGS at 55 Springdale Street.
Originally a farm gal from Nashville, Tennessee, I immigrated to Newfoundland in 1980 after traveling in 23 countries. I fell in love with this wildly beautiful island and its people. I have a B.S. degree from Middle Tennessee State University with a major in English and minors in speech , drama and education.
I now live in a century-old house in downtown St. John's, Newfoundland. A vacant lot was my garden's beginnings....only a huge Maple tree and weeds grew here when I arrived. I have planted 23 trees in a small area so now have a very shady garden . With the addition of multiple water gardens and greenhouses, my visitors say that HERBS AND GARDEN THINGS is an oasis in the center of a busy city. The birds, Moorland (my Pekeinese), my friends, my customers AND I enjoy the tranquility of the herb garden.
I opened my small home-based business in 1995 out of an old woodshed in my garden that faced onto Springdale Street (across from The Delta Hotel). I have a special interest in culinary and medicinal herbs so grow an ever increasing variety for public display and herbal education. I encourage my customers to take the pinch, smell and taste tour of my garden.
In past lives, I have been a teacher, entertainer, bartender, florist, waitress, sales lady, world traveler and lover of nature and beauty. Perhaps all of the above are a part of my garden.
Hmmmmmmmm...... Smile!
Add a sprinkle of imagination, a healthy curiosity, the challenge of an ugly vacant lot and dash of humor to a liberal assortment of wild, wonderful fragrant herbs, fruits, flowers and the sounds of water.... MIX WELL! Result: MY GARDEN!
Do sign my guest book and let me know where you are visiting from! I am a friendly soul! :)
LIVE online medicinal and culinary workshops soon to be presented from the garden.
