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
Everything is so GREEN in Vancouver, it's a shock to my eyes! Beautiful garden, I'm glad you got to share a bit with us.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of secret seating places - and a treehouse!
ReplyDeleteCharming--I love flowery gardens, but this one also has a beautiful foliage-mostly area as well. Gorgeous stepping stone--we wants one.
