i know it has been while since i have written anything or posted any pictures of the garden. i do apologise, and really i have no excuse other than the usual. as many of you know, vancouver didn’t have a stellar winter, and even now there are remnants of the destruction (how dramatic) it caused [...]

winter garden

one of the surefire signs that spring is just around the corner is the very early blooming hellebores like these double bloomed pink oriental cultivars in my front garden. i snapped this picture last night using my tripod. the twinkle in the background are the white lights that i wrap the trunks of the potted [...]

it feels like only yesterday that summer began and yet here we are already in fall – there’s a chill in the air to prove it! despite the cooler temperatures september is traditionally a decent month for sun in vancouver and yesterday (and today) it has graced us with its presence. i got a few [...]

in my small back garden it is the bananas that truly make it feel like a tropical oasis. my nanners sure have come a long way since their ugly winter stem-only days.

there is nothing quite like a sunny day in vancouver. my garden is its happiest when amun ra graces us with his presence. you can practically watch the banana leaves unfurl and the canna reach for the sky. as for my own preference, i can think of nothing better than the sun [...]

it seems that i have been away from my garden for a longtime – and it’s true! in mid-july we headed back to do some work on our place in toronto – i will not bore you with details, but in short, i hate drywall. the day we returned i was forced to [...]
so many days of sun!

nighttime in the garden

if you’re like me a sunny day can erase the memories of days worth of overcast rainy ones. today was no different – if the next few days stay this way it might just be enough to carry me through the rest of the month. luckily i spent the afternoon with a [...]
