August 14, 2013 · Filed under garden visits. 183 Tagged Dicentra cucullaria. Are you sick of spring yet? I showed you what was happening in my garden. And then at Marion Jarvies. Now I want to show you an amazing garden I visited when I was in Kingston. Divided by a very low stone wall,. One side of the rock garden has granite boulders with the other side limestone.

Garden Visits: Folmer’s Botanical Gardens. August 21, 2013 · Filed under bulbs. I have wanted to visit Folmer’s Botanical Gardens. In Walkerton for years, but it never worked out. This garden was featured in Canadian Garden. A few years ago and I became even more determined to get there. However this spring, I finally succeeded. And I wish I had made more of an effort because I loved it. I got so inspired, I feel like I need to buy thousands of Anamone blanda bulbs this fall. I need gates,. And a gazebo,.

What I’m Reading. CONTAINER GARDENING 11 FLOORS UP. March 23, 2015 – 10:10 am. The draba are awake and starting to set flower buds. It’s still frosty and occasionally foggy here, so it’s a bit too cool and too early to be mucking about with the troughs yet.
