 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 some of my favourite English country-style flowers.  It has given us a lot of  pleasure;  it is our sanctuary.  We love to sit by the pond and here the light splash of water from the fountain.  I hope that my gardening tips and floral photography has enlightened some of you.  I never thought that starting this blog would lead into photography but almost every day I capture something in the garden or in Fintry Provincial Park.  There is a remarkable difference from my early photography to photos recently taken.  One of my favourites is the two toned tulip.  It has even led me to experiment in floral arrangements.  This enables me to showcase flowers currently blooming in the garden.

 

 

These past few weeks there has been a burst of growth.  In particular I am finally seeing some new buds appearing on the rose bushes.  They were severely set back this year.

I certainly will not have any problem replenishing the garden.  There are numerous seedlings in the greenhouse.   A long list of both annual and perennial  flower varieties as well as my standard tomato, lettuce, basil and cilantro seedlings. 

 

I hope to continue to inspire others to garden.  Hope you all have a great gardening year.  Thanks for supporting me.  Vyvienne
