Victoria BC's Hanging Baskets

If you have traveled a little north from Gig Harbor and visited Victoria BC during the summer you could not have missed the beautiful baskets hanging throughout the city.  Many streets are lined with these colorful beauties.  This display enhances the Old English charm you’ll experience in British Columbia’s capitol city.  I have tried to mimic these baskets many times resulting in a pretty, but wimpy, outcome which has never come close to their full, head on, beauty.  I am addicted to gardening so I will try once again this year, but now am armed with directions, plant list and a new confidence.  If you are also up for a challenge, click here for the City of Victoria’s website.  At the bottom of the page is a link to a PDF flyer with directions, plant list and schedule.  I am a little tardy in starting this project, but will still have plenty of summer to enjoy them.  If you do choose to try this, please keep me posted with your progress and success.
