Fort Vancouver Garden
I was not interested in watching the debate last week, so I decided to get out of the house. I've been wanting to visit the Fort Vancouver Garden for years and decided to go on the spur of the moment. Once I got there, it occurred to me that this was not the peak time to see a vegetable garden but what I did see was interesting and there were quite a number for visitors milling about. This garden once comprised eight acres and the food grown there fed the Hudson's Bay Company Fort's residents. Today's garden is a smaller version and the vegetables and flowers grown there are some of the same varieties found in the fort's records. Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy
Wow, it is so lush and colorful. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got much-needed rain, but I do hate when it hits on Saturday! That’s work day, for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm envious, Phillip! Your garden looks lush. Our rainy season is effectively over, although there's a slight chance of rain tonight but the forecast is 0.01/inch :(
ReplyDeleteOh so lovely. Still waiting and hoping on a few things here. Yours look grand. Cheers, Phillip.
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks so lush for all that rain Philip. I understand the disappointment of not being able to get outside comfortably to do work in the garden.
ReplyDeleteWow, Phillip! Your garden is beautiful, I agree with all the others calling it lush. Magic rain and all your work. I love the pic with the grass path, how gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous! Rain is magic.
