The Best Day!

Art in the Garden 2014


A few weeks ago I was able to attend Art in the Garden Tour in Port Moody. This has been something that I have wanted to do when I saw signs posted a couple of years ago and wasn't able to attend. For me this was a double pleasure. Viewing artists and their work and seeing beautiful gardens.

At the beginning the day was not promising. After many beautiful sunny days previously, that day promised rain and it did deliver. It sprinkled on and off but that didn't dampen my enjoyment. It was a wonderful day. It stands out for me as one of the best days I have had in a very long time. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Midway we stopped at the Arts Centre where we learned about worm composting (something I might like to try) and I even bought a subscription to Gardens West magazine. We ate some very good  perogies and than headed out for more. There were a wide range of different art on display from sculpture and pottery to paintings and fabric arts.

My idea of heaven!


These lovely little bird feeders were done by one of the
members of the tri-city potters

Again this earwig house was done by one of the members of

Mmmm, perogies!

The view was spectacular

Paintings under the eaves to protect from the elements

Lovely lilies

This was a very interesting heritage food garden
