Garden Tour with Cherry
11.08.2023 - 08:23 / finegardening.com / GPOD Contributor
Today, frequent GPOD contributor Cherry Ong is taking us along on a garden tour she was able to go on in June. The tour was part of a four-day plant-study weekend organized by the Vancouver Hardy Plant Group, and the tour visited some beautiful gardens near Vancouver, Canada.
Other than the hardscaping, all of the work was done by the owner, who spent countless hours creating this incredible garden.
A torrent of color explodes from this beautifully diverse foliage, but the bright gold foliage from Dicentra spectabilis ‘Gold Heart’ (Zones 3–9) steals the scene.
A narrow path winds through lush, perfectly healthy plants.
The wonderful peeling bark of a paperbark maple (Acer griseum, Zones 4–8)
Areas of perfectly manicured grass provide contrast to the lush borders.
The little strip of ground between the sidewalk and street is often forgotten, but in this garden it is also planted up beautifully. What a great way to spread the joy of gardening!

The dark foliage of this incredible Japanese maple (Acer palmatum, Zones 5–9) looks all the more dramatic for the light-colored plants dotted around it.
No space is too small to make a garden! Narrow, shaded beds are perfect for ferns, hostas, and Astilbe.
Silvery Japanese painted fern (Athyrium niponicum ‘Pictum’, Zones 3–8), with silver-spotted lungwort (Pulmonaria, Zones 3–8)
Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa macra, Zones 5–9) tumbles beautifully over the edge of a garden path.

Eco Garden: Dealing with pests
If there’s one thing that makes gardeners gnash their teeth with frustration, it’s watching their favourite plants being eaten by pests. We’ve moved on from the ‘any bug is a bad bug’ mentality, and many chemical controls are being removed from sale amid safety fears, but this doesn’t mean that we have to abandon hope of an attractive and productive garden.

Diane’s Daylily Garden
My name is Diane Porter, and I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. We are a Zone 5 area here, so I like pretty hardy plants. Daylilies (Hemerocallis, Zones 4–9 for most cultivars) fit my garden perfectly. I have always enjoyed gardening and actually worked at a local garden center for a few seasons. The gardening bug hit hard!
