| Most of the work on the lower part of this garden at the Royal Jubilee Hospital seems to be completed, though I noticed a good many small plants in pots, presumably waiting to be planted.
The shape of the Memorial Tablet and the shape of the massive rock on the right make an interesting match - see the picture 'General view'.
Further work seems to have been suspended though - the people organising the creation of the garden have not found it easy to raise enough money. Even general maintenance seems to have stopped - see the picture of the steps to the upper garden. The plant growing over the steps is a tomato!

| Gerald - Sorry about that - no disrespect was intended. I'll try to use the proper names for both it and the one in Vancouver. Herb |
