In The Garden

As the leaves turn and fall, the garden still blooms with bright chrysanthemums, pansies and rudbeckia (black-eyed Susans.) See how hardy hibiscus (rose of sharon), asters and autumn-flowering crocus continue to bloom in this late season. You'll be inspired by Brian Minter, creator of British Columbia's Minter Gardens, who loves to see his gardens "come alive" one last time before winter.

 

Also read about 12 Magical Gardens and why they're a must-see. Meet Kerry Waghorn, world-class caricaturist and West Vancouver vegetable gardener.
