Fieldnotes is a Toronto-based blog sharing how one curious woman connects with nature while living small in the city.

 

Guides

From me: beginner guides, gear lists, and things to do around Toronto.

Trips

Our short outdoor getaway trips including camping, yurts, and cabins.

House

Things we do indoors: houseplants, DIY projects and home renovations.

Garden

What I grow in my small urban garden, a place of dense wild plantings.


Greenhouses & Gardens

Toronto gardens and greenhouses, including a few hidden gems. The perfect places to gather photographs or just to take a breather.

Urban Hiking Trails

For those who don’t have time to leave the city but still want to forest bathe within arm’s reach.

How to Create a Living Plant Wall

It’s been on my plant checklist to have a Living Plant Wall so I’m delighted to finally put one through the ringer.

Pilea Peperomioides - Care

Pilea peperomioides is the quirky plant with pancake shaped leaves that is strangely rare in some places and abundant in others.

Small Kitchen Renovation on a Budget

Our little modernized cottage-y kitchen themed in wood, greenery and steel. This kitchen now sets the tone for the rest of the home.


Container Growing: 'Astia' Zucchini

I'm always looking for smaller varieties of our favourite edibles. This year, I grew Renee's Garden's 'Astia' variety of zucchini and I can't recommend it enough!

Container Growing: Garden Huckleberry

Did you know these obsidian-toned gems are not true huckleberries? Instead, they are members of the nightshade family, just like your familiar tomatoes.
