Welcome to Garden Canadensis…
(Last update 25 Jan 2012)
Garden Canadensis is a simple country garden where we live and play with ornamental plants.
The fact that I am preoccupied in ‘playing/living’ in my garden inevitably means that our garden changes and evolves continuously, and the desire to finish ‘landscaping’ is permanantly on hold. (Pretty sure I am not the only gardener that has this problem.)
The images shown here are just my attempts to capture glimpses of our garden here and there, and some my favourite plants. Preparing these web pages helps me to review my on-going garden making effort in some perspectives. Hopefully, they can entertain you in some way as well. If you have a few constructive thoughts, suggestions or comments, do share them with me in the comment field below.
You can see more pictures of our garden in other segments of this site. I have organized my garden web site into the following segments:(You can view any of these topics by hovering over the set of buttons to the right.)
