As Writers…
Dave and Lillian Brummet have been writing as a team since 1999, starting out writing free lance for various magazine publications – which they continue to do today. To date, they have also published three of their own books. Being a team they can combine Lillian's research and compilation talents with Dave as a proof reader/editor and graphic designer to complete the process.

Awards…
Dave and Lillian have recently been recognized as Community Heroes by the LiveSmart BC program. They have also been presented with an award for "outstanding use of various media in ongoing outreach work to reduce waste in our environment" by the Recycling Council of British Columbia. Seeds of Diversity also awarded them with a Certificate of Appreciation for volunteer contributions and they were recognized by Boundary Family Read - Columbia Basin Alliance For Literacy for their support. Lillian's award winning poetry has appeared in five hardcover anthology books and several newsletters and magazines throughout North America. She has had the honor of attaining Editor's Choice Award for Outstanding Achievement in Poetry, not once – but twice. Dave won an award for his photography through Cottage Magazine; his photos grace the cover of both Towards Understanding and Purple Snowflake Marketing. His work also appears on the graphic design work for the Place in Time CD. More recently the Brummets have been acknowledged by the Canadian Wildlife Federation, who provided the Brummets with Backyard Habitat Certification.

As Gardeners and seed savers…
"Gardening is our golf; it is our hockey and our meditation grounds. It is also the best place to get fresh air, sunshine and solitude - just the birds, worms and you. We enjoy hosting intimate feasts at our home for family and friends using a lot of our own recipes." ~ Dave B.

Saving seed from non-hybrids and participating in seed exchanges is an educational hobby with positive results. Helping to preserve rare or threatened species from extinction, donating seeds to low-income gardeners and taking bags of produce to the local food bank are some of the results of the effort.

Outdoor enthusiasts…
"Our free time is spent cycling BC's abandoned railways, canoeing pristine lakes, or camping and backpacking among the cool, mountainous forests in the summer. Come wintertime we hit the deep, fluffy snow on our snowshoes or skis. While enjoying the outdoors, we practice what we call "clean walking". This involves picking up trash along the way whenever possible, and is discussed in our book, Trash Talk." ~ Dave B.
