Janet Davis Email and Phone Number

For 36 years, I have been a widely-published, award-winning freelance writer, photographer and blogger specializing in gardening, nature and related travel. For six years, I penned a weekly gardening column for the Toronto Sun and later a weekly gardening column for the National Post. My award-winning stories have also appeared in numerous Canadian and American magazines, and my book "Water in the Garden" was published in 1997 as part of a Canadian Gardening design series. My garden photographs have also appeared in numerous books (most recently Houghton-Mifflin and Hachette Group), magazines (9 covers for the American Gardener in the past few years), in packaging materials and on websites. I manage a stock photography collection of more than 100,000 images and continue to add to my botanical inventory yearly. Much of my current photography is aimed at fleshing out a number of self-driven projects, including a seasonal exploration of the diverse trees and shrubs of the arboretum at Toronto's Mount Pleasant Cemetery, a celebration of plant colour entitled The Paintbox Garden, and a chronological collection of plants for honey bees and other pollinators.Samples of my photos can be found on my website www.thepaintboxgarden.com and in my public photo galleries on www.thepaintboxgarden.smugmug.com.
