This is a rare opportunity for you to own an ORIGINAL, one-of-a-kind painting by author David Hobson.  All proceeds from the sale of this painting will go to The Kidney Foundation of Canada so that the Foundation can continue to fund much needed kidney research and improve the lives of people living with kidney disease.

David was born and raised in Yorkshire, England, but has made Canada his home. He has ink stains on his green thumb and lives in Waterloo, Ontario, where he loves to watch things grow - his children, his garden, his friends and his compost heap.
In addition to creating the Garden Humour Web site, he is the weekly garden columnist for the The Record, Waterloo Region and The Guelph Mercury, and currently the Ontario correspondent for Canadian Gardening magazine.
He has written two books of humorous garden stories -- Soiled Reputations, and Diary of a Mad Gardener
David is always available for speaking and/or storytelling engagements. He has spoken to numerous horticultural societies and gardening groups, including Canada Blooms, The Canadian National Exhibition, The Southwestern Flower Show in Atlanta Georgia, and the Ontario Horticultural Association Convention.
With the humour and passion of a lifelong gardener, he entertains with tales of garden adventures, including lots of tips, or if desired, on the more practical aspects of gardening. Join him on a light-hearted and informative journey to the heart of gardens. See magic and mystery while exploring the essential qualities discovered in there -- inspiration, creativity, patience . . . and humour. A gardener must be able to laugh with their garden, otherwise they'd cry (laugh while you garden and you'll live forever!).

The Kidney Foundation of Canada is the national volunteer organization committed to reducing the burden of kidney disease through:

• funding and stimulating innovative research;
• providing education and support;
• promoting access to quality healthcare; and
• increasing public awareness and commitment to advancing kidney health and organ donation
