A favorite exotic garden on Salt Spring Island

14 years ago

This is one of the favorite gardens on Salt Spring Island. The gardener sold & moved away with some exotic trees but a video was made of the garden's life after the gardener's move. This garden was meant for enjoyment on sunny days. Here are comments by another gardener on Salt Spring about gardening in a climate similar to Victoria's. Enjoy the plant tour.

    This was a pleasant video on a cold morning at minus 26 here.
    It is a shame that no one lives there to maintain such a gem.
    Thanks again for sharing.
