Plenty of Spring Blooms and Buds Spring has definitely sprung in the Findleberry garden. After being away over Easter for just over a week I was amazed to see how green the lawn is and clumps of bulbs in bloom randomly throughout my garden beds. It is a great time of the year when you […]
As we approach Easter 2018, my garden is at least two to three weeks behind in growth compared to other years. I did take advantage of some warmer spells and started raking leaves off the garden beds. It is always a treat to see what is revealed. Clumps of daffodil and tulip shoots plus the […]
I delayed writing a post as the weather has certainly not been co-operative since my return from vacation. I think we are all more than ready for Spring, although it may take a while for the snow to thaw. Even this past week we had several dustings of snow. In stark contrast to the […]
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 […]
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.

As the saying goes April showers bring forth May flowers. It certainly has been the case in the area I live in. I have welcomed the rain along with sunny breaks – a perfect mix for bringing on the flowers, trees and shrubs; even the lawns are starting to turn a brighter green. This is also the […]
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 […]
Basket of Spring Flowers, Crocus, Muscari, Tulips, Primula. So much to look forward to. I never thought I would be so happy to be writing these words “Welcome to March”. With having said that though we are still not over winter yet. Just over the weekend we had another snowfall. It is definitely time to […]
Happy Valentine’s Day. As an alternative to buying roses for that special person, I think spring bulbs are a great choice; in particular tulips. They come in an array of colours, are reasonable and work just as well. With me being the practical one, I like to go a step further and buy potted tulips. […]
