It’s less than a week until our second annual Open Garden Day. I’m ready for it, bilingual volunteers are prepped,\u00a0and the garden is looking fine.<\/p>\n

So I hope I’ll see you here, next Saturday between 10 and 4. There’s no need to reserve a spot, and all are welcome, with admission payable on site. (No dogs or picnics, please.)<\/p>\n

Here are the details.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Glen-Villa-Open-House-2017-eng-1200x800\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here’s a preview of what you’ll see.<\/p>\n

The Cascade by the house …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The

The yellow Ligularia add a nice vertical element to the horizontal planting at the Cascade.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The astilbe and hostas by the front door …<\/p>\n

\"The

The sculpture is by Quebec artists Louise Doucet and Satoshi Saito.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

And a swing to pretend you are still a child. (It works for real children, too.)<\/p>\n

\"A

A swing makes for an idyllic summer day.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Lower Garden, you’ll see flowers and shrubs, and a sculpture by Doucet-Saito.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Late

Late afternoon sunlight makes the Aralia ‘Sun King’ gleam.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

You’ll see more flowers twining up tree trunks …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Clematis

Clematis Violacea Venosa matches well with Achemilla mollis, or Lady’s Mantle.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

… shouting out sunshine …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The

The yellow flower is Inula magnifica ‘Goliath’. I started it from seed over a dozen years ago.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

… and offering the perfect landing spot for bees.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Echinacea

Echinacea now comes in a variety of colours and shapes. I still like the old coneflower the best.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

You may see deer — including two baby fawns who still have their spots — a fat lazy groundhog, turtles and frogs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"A

A frog in the hand is worth two in the pond.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can explore, woodland trails, ponds and meadows.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Snapping

Snapping turtles like to laze on the rocks at the Skating Pond.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or take a look\u00a0back in time, at the China Terrace …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The

The dining room table is made of cement tinted red to suggest a velvet tablecloth.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

or the Sundial Clearing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"This

A trail through the woods leads to the Sundial Clearing. The shadow of a dead pine tree marks the hours of the day.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

For a fun-filled day, rain or shine, Glen Villa offers a lot. Bilingual volunteers will be stationed around the garden and bilingual brochures make a self-guided tour easy. And remember, your admission fee of $25 helps to conserve pristine lands around Lake Massawippi — and to build ecologically sensitive trails that make that land accessible to all.<\/p>\n

I’ll be around all day, happy to answer questions or just to sit and chat.<\/p>\n

See you on the 29th!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
