Back in February of 2012 I wrote a brief post of the beauty of the Hanging Baskets
that line the streets throughout downtown Victoria British Columbia. With close family on my mother’s side living
in Victoria, and fed by an addiction to gardening, I was fortunate to
have ventured north many times in my life and have always been amazed with
these beautiful and color filled wonders.
Unfortunately, with the years and the passing my Canadian family, I find
trips north are fewer and fewer. However,
these amazing baskets provide me with many fond memories of younger years and
the wonderful family I now miss. Again
this year I will make my lame attempt to mimic these beauties, but I have never
been able to master their magnificence.
If you are up to the challenge click here for some history of the baskets and scroll to the bottom for a list of supplies and instructions. Or, if you’re not up to the test
your gardening prowess but are still captivated by these baskets, I suggest you
make the short trip to Victoria to see them for yourself. Click here for visit the City of Victoria’s home page for visitor information. Victoria
is a wonderful city with many great sites to see and activities to experience. Get your hands dirty and give it a try, but
let me know how they turn out.And be sure to watch March edition of 'This Month in Real Estate' by clicking here or the link on my home page.
