Oh, To Be in England…

Oh wait, I am in England! This is a dream of a lifetime trip for me. I had hoped to blog along during my trip but I can’t upload photos for some reason (I am only using my phone). I am posting daily on Instagram of the lovely places I am seeing. My Instagram ID is phillipoliver if you want to follow me.  Cheerio!

Revisting the McElhaney Garden


The last garden on the East Vancouver Mini-Tour was that of Judy and Roger McElhaney. I had visited their garden previously in 2016 and was just blown away. It is hard to believe that it is now eight years later.


At first, I didn't recognize their garden. It is astounding how things have grown. The majority is very shady with the exception of one side (pictured above) that is open to the sky. 


A beautiful Mock Orange




Acer palmatum 'Shirazz'


This was the most beautiful shrub, about 5 feet tall and wide and covered with blooms. Judy could not remember what it was but we decided it might be a deutzia.

    It's a beautiful mature garden, with every plant perfectly situated to make the most of that wooded landscape.
