Sometimes it is hard to know the impact one has, but then there is that moment when you meet someone who has made a change in their gardening approach because of something I've written or shared and my heart is full.

But I post a comment here because feedback is what keeps us going. You make a difference in your blogging, helping to reach new people all the time with information about why native plants and helping our native wildlife matters.

GWGT has been a staple on my reading list for years, always learning something new from you and your passions. I very much enjoyed meeting you in Toronto and hope to see you again at one of the upcoming Flings.

It really opens up ones repertoire globally without leaving ones garden. I am constantly amazed at everything you grow so lushly in Canada. I've learned much from you.

One of the best benefits of blogging has been meeting fellow bloggers from around the globe and nurturing those on-line friendships and meeting in person. I have very much enjoyed our time together at Flings. Looking forward to many more years.

Also at the Fling it was nice meeting you. Blogging does have its ups and downs. I could not have continued if only writing about my garden even though like you having it open to the public some years. I have 1000 posts on GWGT now, and they would have never been possible without travels, opinions, photography, nature, birding and the like. It is great you have mostly concentrated on your garden and its expansion. I have enjoyed your garden and your photography.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335626764384885870.post-2693003758577427842016-10-07T13:48:27.161-04:002016-10-07T13:48:27.161-04:00Congratulations Karen - 7 years is quite the miles...Congratulations Karen - 7 years is quite the milestone! It has been a true pleasure getting to know you over the past couple of years - I still giggle when I think back to the Niagara bus ride when we were talking about your dogs and why you had two of them...I laughed so hard my face hurt :)<br /><br />I completely agree with you on the struggle to achieve balance - there never seems to be enough time in the day to do everything we want. It also doesn't help that I, more often then not, underestimate how much time it will take to do a particular task. And technology - yup, pretty much feel the same way on that one too.<br /><br />Congrats once again...and did I mention you do an amazing job on your blog? I've learned so much!! I'm really looking forward to continuing to learn through your posts and sharing a LOT more "oh, my face hurts" laughs with you in the future :) XO XOMargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335626764384885870.post-72129146311849258822016-10-07T11:35:07.480-04:002016-10-07T11:35:07.480-04:00"Prost!" with a trowel in hand!
