David Hobson
is a writer, a gardener, and a teller of stories...

 
 
       He was born and raised in Yorkshire, England, but has made Canada his home. David 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 1995 his garden won the Waterloo Horticultural Society award for "Best Garden", and in 1996, it was featured on the Big Sisters charity garden tour. Chapter 4 of of his first book, ‘Soiled Reputations’ was shortlisted for the 1996 Leacock Festival Humorous Short Story Competition. He has been published in 'Necessary Fiction' (a literary journal for new authors c/o Renison College, University of Waterloo), the 1997 Cambridge Writers Collective Anthology, and is a contributing writer to "I Can Garden" webzine. As a member of the Baden Second Story Guild, David has told his original stories at many functions and festivals around Southern Ontario. He enjoys public speaking and has won a number of humorous speech contests. He has also been a frequent guest on CKGL's weekly Home Gardener show. He is always available for speaking and/or storytelling engagements, and has humorous material particularly suitable for gardening groups. (My mum wrote this -- good isn't it?)
