I have worked here since 2011 telling stories of the Earth as preparation for a history of the Intermontane Grasslands of Central Cascadia and the rainswept coast that keeps them windy and dry. Now I am presenting this history, step by step, as I have learned it, often from the land itself. The history of this region includes the Canadian colonial space “The Okanagan Valley”, which lies over the land I live in above Canim Bay. The story stretches deep into the American West, into the US Civil War, the War of 1812, and the Louisiana Purchase, as well into the history of the Columbia District of the Hudson’s Bay Company. In all, the story spans the Chilcotin and Columbia volcanic plateaus and the basins that surround them. In this vast watershed lie homelands as old as 13,200 years (Sequim) and 16,200 years (Salmon River.) That’s how far we are walking together here, who are all the land speaking.

Thank you

Hi, it found a home, but I’ll see if I can coax another one. I think there are a couple.

Do you know John Galsworthy’s story, “The Japanese Quince?” I think the whole story is found here: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Japanese_Quince

I don’t suppose one would stay alive in Edmonton (zone 3a)…? We are rebuilding our backyard after an Event (see my Facebook November 26, 2021). We do have a peach tree now, if it survived the Event fallout…

It’s a good question! Mine found a home, but there’s another shoot I can dig up and see if I can get it to root for you.
