It's Titanic

Our friend, Lex Parker, is working on a new project in Niagara Falls.  It is the interactive Titanic museum.  The press release went out in late January, so there are many articles on it.  The Canada Press article is here, and Lex's Facebook announcement is here.  His concept is shown in the articles - and its distinction is that the Titanic appears to be sailing through the building.  I've included the picture from Lex's Facebook page so you can marvel at the creativity. We checked the snow drops in the garden yesterday - they aren't blooming, but there are little white buds above the ground.  They are ready.

Benchscape Tour Today

Gardens On Tour  It is a garden tour today for Benchscape, the Beamsville Bench house and garden that Lex Parker designed. I plant and maintain the raised beds of herbs and flowers and the pots located around the house.  The pictures today show just this area. This is the house with the lovely meadow garden this year. I posted pictures of it a week ago or so.

Meadow Made

From the cultivated wisteria of yesterday, we move to the cultivation of a wildflower meadow at Benchscape.  What a delightful vista of wild flowers at the lower portion of the property.  The flowers seemed to float above the vertical stems of green - annual bachelor buttons in blues, pinks, and whites, punctuated by the occasional red poppy.   A great success for our friend, the designer, Lex Parker!
