Blogtober 4: Gardens in Autumn

 


A few days ago, I met a friend for a walk in Butchart Gardens. We were both surprised at the crowds. Several tour busses and a cruise ship or two were in town and visiting the Gardens is a popular excursion. 



I worked today in my own garden, pulling down the pole beans, cutting the last of the squashes and pumpkins and gathering their vines. This afternoon we attended the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of our daughter-in-law's parents, followed by a quiet evening at home watching George Gently. I'll leave a few photos of the gardens below for you to enjoy. 







I've saved the dahlias for another post. See you tomorrow!
