This month’s Open Garden is at the home of Patty and Erwin Smith at 1747 Arbutus Point road from 2 - 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 24th. Visitors are welcome for a small entrance fee. Club memberships can be bought on-site.
The property is entered through an imposing wrought iron gate and an avenue of self seeded Arbutus trees. On the water front side the property faces south with views over Bowen Bay. The land falls away steeply and is richly planted with a wide variety of perennials and evergreens. This is a mature fenced property with its own irrigation system provided by a spring.
Patty has been tirelessly at work in her garden for 14 years. The garden has been the recipient of many gifts of interesting and exotic plants from her friends and neighbours and continues to be a source of inspiration for her paintings.
