As we near the end of 2021 I once again reflect on the past year which always begins with a snowy scene in my front yard. The snow sticks around for a while until at least early March although my witch hazel flowers in February. It is at this time I start to look for […]
The Beach at Fintry Provincial Park I decided today to dedicate a post to the many colors of fall in both my garden, Fintry Delta and Fintry Provincial Park. The fall colors have been exceptional this year I believe due to weather patterns. The trees in this area mainly turn yellow in contrast to other […]
Where do I begin. I think most of us can say that we will be happy to see the end of 2020. It has been quite the year! I was very fortunate to immerse myself in gardening. I don’t think the garden has ever been so looked after. Many an hour I have spent there. […]

There has been a seasonal shift this past week. The mornings are bright and clear while there is a coolness as evening approaches. Always […]
I unexpectedly visited Guisachan Heritage Park as I was originally attracted to a flower show on location there. Lovely to see all the floral arrangements but I was even more taken in with the beautiful perennial flower beds along my walk through this park. I did not realize its historical significance. In the 1800’s it […]
