Heritage Flower Garden in Spring

A few weeks ago, Terry and I visited the Maplelawn Garden, next to the historic Maplelawn Manor in Ottawa.

The garden has been tended by volunteers since 1994...

Some were working when we arrived.

Tulip season was coming to an end.

I wanted to see what other plants plants do well in spring in our climate.

I have some of these plants in my own garden...

I was curious to see what plants look good next to them.

I recognize these from my neighbor Mary's garden...

Do I have room for any more flowers? I wonder, as I admire some that I don't have...

Not unless we make paths and get rid of our lawn!
