….neighbour Mary was selected to be part of this year’s Long Branch Garden Tour

Mary was delighted to be part of this year’s garden tour in the neighbourhood. For years she put forth a plan for her perfect garden and in the final weeks before the tour she worked hard to put the finishing touches on it. I was happy to do my part and gave St. Francis at new coat of paint.

On Saturday the signs went up around the neighbourhood indicating which homes were part of the tour. There were five gardens within walking distance of my house and I checked them all out. Not only did I get some wonderful ideas for my own garden but I actually met the gardeners who were also neighbours. I can now put names to houses that opened their gardens for the tour.
