When an independent “old” Canadian - with a love of gardening and a nostalgic view of her recipe collection - meets a “new” Canadian - with a love of all things Canada and an enthusiasm for computers - we find ourselves Rooted in Canada.

Welcome to a blog about gardening in zone 3b, memories of a life lived quietly, recipes that celebrate the garden harvest, and some DIY projects reflecting an independent spirit. 

We wish you all the love and laughter we have found together, Rooted in Canada.
