Moments in the Garden Year in Review 2017
This is always the time of the year when I like to reflect on highlights throughout the year in the Findleberry Garden and Fintry Provincial Park. As ever 2017 started off with deep snow, but it always gives me an opportunity to experiment with my photography. In particular I remember capturing an Eastern Bluebird which […]
Late Summer Flowers
Late summer flowers come into play and with cooler night temperatures the garden has recovered. Oranges, reds and yellows are the prominent colours from heleniums, rudbeckias, sunflowers, gallardias and the remaining zinnias. Late Summer Flowers There has been a second blooming on several of my roses including my pink miniature rose in the front […]
Flower Power Garden Tour
Flower Power – Kelowna & West Kelowna Garden Tour After being in the Okanagan area for almost 10 years now I finally attended the Kelowna & West Kelowna Garden Tour (Flower Power – www.flowerpowerylw.ca) This was such a great event exploring a number of private gardens, a lavender farm and vineyard. There was such a […]
Eerie Silence on the Lake
There is an eerie silence on the lake this morning. Usually this is the beginning of boating season but as the water rises boaters are discouraged to go on the lake. Owners of waterfront homes are frantically sandbagging – a fight against nature. My husband has been helping out as best he can with filling […]
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day I thought it was time for a garden update and what better time to do it as we approach Mother’s Day. These past couple of weeks I have been very preoccupied with looking after my grandchildren along with an evacuation alert. Water flow in Shorts Creek reached dangerous levels. I must admit one day […]
Happy May 1st

Now the trees and shrubs are bursting with new growth. Finally the tulips, daffodils, violets and muscari are blooming. […]
Moments in the Garden 3rd Anniversary
Early Photos of the Findleberry Garden I can’t believe that I am celebrating the 3rd anniversary of Moments in the Garden. The Findleberry Garden has evolved over this time. When we first bought our home in Fintry the garden was very neglected. My husband worked on some of the structural features while I slowly added […]
Happy Easter
Happy Easter With Easter fast approaching I have opted for a simple theme this year. Once again it has been quite the challenge obtaining fresh plants and flowers in my area. The long winter has certainly had a long-term effect, i.e. delays in stock being brought up from the mainland. However, I did manage to […]
March Moments
March Moments As we near the end of March the scene is very different to the same time last year. I am so glad that Easter is later this year. I usually have an abundance of plant material to use for decorating both my front porch and the Easter dining table, however, the garden […]
