Thank you for your comments, Judith. I thought that the garden at the Seventh Day Adventist Church was incredible! And Jonathan and Jenna’s was a good example of what can be done in a few months (with a fair amount of labour and some experience). All in all, it was a pretty inspiring day.

I enjoyed the Edible Garden Tour very much. I didn’t get to Wildwood, Lund or South of town. I picked up some good irrigation tips and ideas on what to plant and what not to plant. I thought it was a good tour. I was quite amazed at the Seventh Day Adventist Comm. garden they seem to have some good soil there. The young people on Kamloops had done so much in one year. I just mention those two but I got alot out of all the visits.
Thanks
Judith

Next year!! I’m pretty sure we’ll do it again, since the response was really enthusiastic. Every garden was worth seeing (or so I heard, since there were a couple I had to miss), and next year we’ll try to find a new crop of gardens for people to visit and be inspired by.

I wish I could have been in Powell River for the tour. I’m glad to see my friend Margaret’s garden is on the list. I love reading about her gardening and cooking tips at her blog Thistle Garden. – Margy
