The Bowen Island Garden Club's open garden for the month of July is at the home of Linda Hargrave at 1236 Miller Road.
The garden will be open from 1 to 3 p.m. on Sat., July 23. There is a small charge for non-members but new memberships can be bought on-site.
This is a property small in space but packed with wonders. Linda has owned the property for 13 years and instigated a major makeover nine years ago, which established a foundation for the present. The many plantings of both old fashioned perennials and much newer material provide all-season colour and interest. Formal beds are happily integrated with wilder areas: vegetables, fruit trees, raised beds, trellises and a pagoda conspire to delight the visitor.
With the promise of better weather for the weekend, make a visit to 1236 Miller Road!
