GPOD on the Road: Earthwise Garden

Beautiful, eco-conscious gardening

Today Cherry Ong is taking us along to a garden she visited this spring .

I had a serendipitous discovery when we visit Boundary Bay in Tsawassen , British Columbia , in a district called Southlands Tsawassen . There is a vivacious community garden there called Earthwise Gardens by Earthwise Society . Here ’s more information on the farm and garden : earthwisesociety.bc.ca .

We came on a rainy day , but that did n’t stop us from experiencing the vibrance and crust of the garden .

The path winds through dumbly planted layer , full of colorful foliage and flowers .

I ’m sure Cherry got fuddled view this garden in the rainwater , but the photos are gorgeous !

I think this might be part of the baby’s room , which help produce plants as part of the garden ’s mission to promote ecologically witting gardening .

garden with a judgement to being a good part of the local surroundings can also be beautiful , as these endearing yellow tulips help shew .

A birdhouse is smother by a lovely pinkclematis.(I think it’sClematismontana , Zones 6–9 ) .

Bees have houses in the garden as well .
