Who Is Marjorie Harris and What Does She Write About?

Marjorie Harris is a Canadian garden writer, and her website, marjorieharris.com, describes her as "Canada's favourite garden writer." The site is a personal author hub rather than a shop or database: it presents her writing life, highlights her published work, and links out to articles and garden visits she has covered.

What the website says about her

The site's own framing is the clearest signal of her identity. Its tagline is "a life in the garden," and the page evidence includes a reference to her as "Canada's favourite garden writer." That phrase is the site's own description, not an independent ranking, so treat it as how she and her site present her rather than an award or official title.

What she writes about

Her subject matter is gardens and plants, approached through personal, place-based writing rather than technical manuals. Two threads run through the material featured on the site:

• Garden visits and profiles — writing about specific gardens and the people who make them.
• Plants and planting — reflections tied to what grows in her own garden, as suggested by the "Plants in my Garden" heading on the site.

Examples of her work

The site points readers to outside publications where her writing appears. One concrete example is a Gardenista article about a garden visit at home, promoted on the site with the line "New Gardenista article: Garden visit at home with Canada's favourite garden writer." That link is a useful starting point if you want to sample her style before deciding whether to follow her work further.

Who this site is for

The site suits readers who want garden writing with a personal voice — someone describing gardens they've visited and plants they've grown — rather than reference material, plant databases, or how-to guides. If you're looking for a specific cultivation manual or hardiness data, this isn't that kind of resource; if you want to read a garden writer's observations and follow where her articles appear, it is.
