Do you ever tire of the same gardens one sees in subdivisions-especially new ones? It looks as if the same landscaper did everyone's front lawn. Perfectly shaped bushes and lots of impatiens! On a recent trip to the Niagara area it was refreshing to see the gardens of homeowners with a great variety of Canadian wild flowers and trees on properties.
Niagara on the Lake was abundant with street flowers and trees. Like many quaint Canadians towns that are historic and full of cute shops for the tourists, it was colourful and pleasing to visit.
The Niagara region has the Horticultual College. It seems the students can perform many field trips keeping the many gardens and areas of the vicinity flourishing.
Even time can be told with flowers! Don't you just love the floral clock! A must for any visitor to the area!
A wonderful drive along the Niagara Parkway revealed garden after garden of beauty. A welcome difference from my own locale!
That first photo is a fantastic centrepiece. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe second one of the floral clock reminds me of New Westminster. The big park there also had a feature like the one you photographed.
I must get out soon and visit some of our local park gardens.
