The Sunnylea Garden was ready for the July 5th Grimsby Garden Club Garden Tour. It took a lot of work over the last 2 months to get the back yard into tour-ready shape. It was only last October that the hardscaping was installed, and the end of May this year that the garden carpentry was completed. The original concept ideas were done by Frank Kershaw. Christopher Campbell, who designed my back garden at 46 Orchard Crescent in Toronto, did the design. I particularly appreciated his design of the Rendezvous with its trellis work and seating area.
Here are a few images of the garden on the morning of the tour:
This is a significant change from 2011, where the back garden featured a large deck, seating area, hot tub and ponds. With the move of the Conservatory from Toronto, the raised deck, hot tub and bedroom wall were in for major changes. The front garden was renovated to include a parking area for a second car, and a seating area under the mature red maple tree.
