Adventures in Cycling and Gardens

A few weeks ago I told you about Mark Quattrocchi's adventure of cycling around the world to raise money to build schools in developing countries.  Here's the Global News coverage of his return home. 

Our pictures come from the Niagara-on-the-Lake Shaw Guild garden tour.  Niagara-on-the-Lake has some large properties - I assume created around the War of 1812 or earlier. It was settled around 1781 and known as Butlersburg, in honour of Colonel John Butler, the commander of Butler's Rangers.  It was a British military base, the first capital of Upper Canada, and a central battle site in the War of 1812.  

What we see on the tour is how beautiful some of these back gardens are today with their spacious proportions and mature greenery.
