Jade will be away from Friday August 22nd to Tuesday September 2nd, so Christina will be extending her Tuesday-Friday hours by 1…

If you’re like me and many of us who live in the “City of Gardens” you might be experiencing the slow build-up of stiffness or pain from the ongoing maintenance of your beloved backyard-, balcony-, or community garden.

Another beautiful thank you / goodbye card from one of our regular acu-nappers who has made the difficult decision to uproot from Lekwungen Territories to reunite with family in the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy.
