Fort Vancouver Garden
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.
You chose a great way to spend the day, instead of tv. It's a lovely garden, I really like photo #3 showing off the pathways.
ReplyDeleteAs vegetable gardens go, that's a very pretty one, especially given how late in the season is is!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful. I especially like the sunflower. We went in mid-June and again in late July. I guess it's time to go again to see the progression through the seasons. In June the rose arbor was completely covered in beautiful white blooms.
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks like a beautiful place even here at the end of the growing season.
