As 2016 comes to a close my last post of the year is pretty simple. Having already completed my Year in Review (posted Dec 21, 2016) all that remains is a collection of photos of the Findleberry garden. The winter themed scenes capture the garden in a dormant mode and is in sharp contrast […]
Winter Wonderland Winter has arrived. It is always lovely to experience the first snowfall of the season. Both the garden and the Fintry delta magically changes. Each year the scene varies. The beaver has started to create a dam again which has caused the creek to flood in some places. This has started to freeze […]
How is everyone doing today? I hope you all had a great Christmas and 2016 will prove to be Happy and a Healthy one. First of all, I realized that while I was perusing through my posts in January last year, I accidentally clicked on the post “Preparing for the Gardening Season” (http://findleberry.com/preparing for the […]
As we near the end of 2015, for me it is a time of contemplation and there is no better place for me to do this while walking in the snow-covered Fintry Provincial park. It felt good after all the turkey dinners and baking I have had over the last few days. Even though I am […]

I can’t believe the amount of snow that has fallen in the last 72 hours. Talking to long time residents in the Fintry Delta, they have never seen this amount of snow, record-breaking amounts. The good thing about this though is the heavy snowfall has provided a protective layer on all my shrub, vegetable and flower beds […]
As we come to the close of 2014, I thought I would share some of my favourite photos of flowers and scenes I have taken over the year. Looking forward to Spring 2015. HAPPY NEW YEAR
First on the agenda, the Christmas Wreath. There is nothing more welcoming than being greeted by a fresh green wreath when first approaching the house. For the base of the wreath I use the circular grapevine (as shown in Step 1). You can either buy these or in my case […]
Even though they had been predicting snow, I was still surprised to see the blanket of snow in the garden this morning. Fortunately I collected all the greens for my outside Christmas decorations earlier in the week and managed to complete several wreaths, an urn container and the garlands for the railings outside. In my next […]
