The Garden is Flourishing
The Garden continues to flourish despite very unseasonable weather this year. Each time I return to my garden after being away I am always amazed at the growth. After my recent return the oriental poppies are blooming along with both pink and purple lupines. Lupines & Oriental Poppies The lilacs have died down now. Their […]
Spring Garden 2022
Spring Garden 2022. It certainly has been a while since I have done a blog post. The garden has only come alive within the past few weeks. The rockery garden always seems to show new life first beginning with the scillas that have multiplied forming a carpet of color. The odd miniature daffodil as well […]
Golden Glow

I love the reflection of the turning bushes and […]
End of August 2018
As we reach the end of August I am pleased to see some clearer skies and certainly appreciated the recent rainfall. For a good part of the month the garden was shrouded with a smoky haze which advanced the garden into a fall like setting. The blooms on the hydrangea paniculata are starting to turn […]
Mid August Review 2018
As we reach mid August there is almost a fall like feel in the garden with the smokey skies we have experienced these past few weeks. As they continue to battle fires in BC, I hope they will subside and give all those fire fighters out there a reprieve. The leaves on the lacy leaf […]
