 “The Side Gardener”

Rosie will share how she transformed a little patch of land at the side of her home into a lush garden and her favourite ways to use the vegetables you can grow in your own backyard.

Rosie shares her notes on how she designed her garden and nurtured it to life, along with the simple recipes she created to let the freshly grown produce shine.

Rosie will bring books for sale and anyone who already has her book feel free to bring it along for her to sign.

The Side Gardener is named for the way Rosie Daykin gardens “on the side” with her other ventures. It’s the story of how Rosie — a bestselling and award-winning cookbook author who also happens to garden a little on the side—turned a languishing patch of land beside her home into an informal working garden.

Rosie founded the bakery and gourmet food business Butter Baked Goods, which she ran for fourteen successful years. She sold Butter Baked Goods in 2021 when she returned to her original career as an interior designer whose work has been featured in publications internationally. This allows her just enough time to keep gardening on the side.

Rosie lives in Vancouver with her husband, Paul, her wee old chihuahua, Pickle, and her three chickens.
