Recently a Garden Tour took place in Albert county. Seven gardens from Hopewell Hill to Alma were selected by a comittee, to showcase both ornamental and vegetable gardens. The goal was to highlight a variety of formal, informal, innovative, traditional, and different settings from within our area.
We had some young gardeners, and some who might get a movie discount now! All love to be outside, working with their plants. While most were reluctant to accept our invitation to participate, all were pleased at the end of the day, because of the opportunity to share their love of gardening with visitors to their special corners of Paradise. Members of the Fundy Gardeners, based in the Hampton area, gave high praise to organizer, Phyllis Sutherland, when they said this tour rivaled any they had been on in their area this season. Gardeners often say – “if only you were here last week” – something is always just out of bloom, but happily, something else takes its place. Gardens are meant to be enjoyed weekly, if not daily to capture the continuing magic.
