One of the loveliest public gardens in our part of Ottawa is the one found at the
Keg Manor, a restaurant housed in an old farmhouse in the middle of the city.
Next to it, a walled garden that was originally the farm's vegetable garden, is now a formal flower garden cared for by volunteers.
I come to see what's in bloom...
Are there any flowers I could add to our flower beds?
I don't have these...
I noticed monarch butterflies flitting around...
(When do they head south?)
I left - inspired to make asters my next garden addition.
The butterflies seem to like them, too.
I used to have pink asters, but they disappeared a few years ago - probably crowded out by other encroaching blooms.
There are asters in various colors here.
After wandering around, I sat and rested for a bit on one of the garden benches - placed in honor of volunteers who have worked in this garden continuously for over 25 years!
