| Viktorie Hladik’s interest in landscape design sprouted in her early years. She drew her inspiration from her mother, a horticulturist, and father, a house designer. They taught her the art of understanding nature’s principles and with this knowledge she has learned how to apply her ideas aesthetically for a variety of outdoor environments. |

| Halifax Seed Company Incorporated, Canada's oldest, continuously operating seed company, was established in 1866. In its considerable history, Halifax Seed has evolved steadily. Now on Kane Street in Halifax, the company once occupied a waterfront location on the city's famous harbour. When the town was damaged by a massive explosion in 1917 (That man-made explosion, The Halifax Explosion, was rated the world's largest until Hiroshima), the company moved to Granville Street. Halifax Seed operates two corporate retail outlets, one in Halifax, Nova Scotia and the other in Saint John, New Brunswick. Both offer quality gardening products as well as customer service and advice. |

| Remineralize the earth promotes the
regeneration of soils and forests worldwide
with finely ground rock dust as a sustainable
alternative to chemical fertilizers and
pesticides, creating fertile soils much as
the Earth does. Not only do we need to
recycle and return the organic matter to the
soil, it is equally vital to return all of
the mineral nutrients which create fertile
soils and healthy crops and forests.
Remineralization is essential to restore
ecological balance and stabilize the climate. |
