“A visitor from down south stared at my apple tree and said: ‘Those don’t grow here you know. It’s too cold.’ If the apricot tree in Highlands knew it couldn’t live here, it might stop scattering white blossoms over three lawns.” – Bert Almon Edmonton has a rich and diverse horticultural history. Vacant lot gardeners, rose gardeners, and horticultural societies have all contributed to the beautification of the capital city of Alberta, and through the enthusiasm of florists, seedsmen, and plant breeders the city has developed a distinct horticultural character. In this collection of nine essays, each with a different theme, Kathryn Chase Merrett depicts the development of Edmonton’s social, cultural, and physical landscape as it has been shaped by champions of both nature and the garden. Edmontonians and all urbanites interested in gardening and local history, as well as professors and students of history, cultural studies, and urban design, will delight in the colourful storytelling of Why Grow Here.
Lois Hole was a beloved figure in Alberta. As a gardener she was a source of sought-after advice on how to nurture plants. As a school trustee and chancellor of the University of Alberta she willingly took on tough challenges to improve education for all. As lieutenant-governor of Alberta she spoke clearly in favour of libraries and education, and fearlessly in favour of a view of community life that was not always popular with many of the province's leading politicians. This book collects many of the speeches she gave as lieutenant-governor. She could be humorous, curious, caring, or pointed as circumstances required. These speeches represent more than a unique woman fully engaged in public life. They show a person who strode confidently through life, meeting it head-on with compassion and conviction. They are the record of what she wished for Albertans and how she thought they could join together to make a better life for their children. This record of a compelling public personality constitutes a legacy of hope.
