We have a converted tugboat and every time we pull in, we have been fortunate enough to encounter our friends Dave and Georgia. They have a house ashore but also own that large wooden tug on mooring buoy, SeaBreeze I think is her name. Dave also drives the school boat/taxi. Lovely place. slimsdotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823463779104145511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-20696153755687039492017-06-26T11:01:40.123-07:002017-06-26T11:01:40.123-07:00How fortunate you were to be able to enjoy such be...How fortunate you were to be able to enjoy such beautiful gardens with like-minded people.

I googled and found Salt Spring, and have already found Pender. Your friend's garden is so lovely and looks so like Provence, with that beautiful rock staircase and pots of lavender. The dark pink poppies are pretty, unlike any I have seen - hope you get some of those. Have a good week.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-71527958173614160112017-06-24T22:18:53.781-07:002017-06-24T22:18:53.781-07:00What a beautiful garden your friend Ali has and th...What a beautiful garden your friend Ali has and the roses are divine!Ellie's friend from canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240956258453579270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-88658101844911247162017-06-24T20:59:14.992-07:002017-06-24T20:59:14.992-07:00How funny!

Wait . . . I think I know who Ali is! Must talk to her at the next garden club (next week) and see if I am right.

They even had their own school for the adherents who lived there. I really like your friend's garden and it looks so Provençale. What beautiful roses and peonies! I am also drawn to linen clothing in the summer but I have enough.
