The Demise

A Gardener's Journal Posted on October 30, 2026 by D. SmithOctober 30, 2026

No news of the demise of this website, until now…

  • Posts on gardening have been copied over to Kamloops Garden Club for later republication.   I am one of the publishers for the KGC site.
  • Posts on native plants have been moved over to A Wildflower Journal, another of my websites.  
  • Galleries of photos have been kept, but will be winnowed-out over time.    An up-to-date list with links can be seen on a page on A Wildflower Journal.
  • This website was built on a sub-domain of A Wildflower Journal and it will be removed in November, but my other sites – KamloopsTrails.com, Rambleon.ca, and Wildflowerjournal.net – will remain active.   
  • I have recently taken down two other sub-domain websites, trimming down for the winter season, so to speak.
  • Thanks for visiting this site.
