    This is part 3 from my trip to Canada Blooms! You all say you love pictures, so here are some more. You are going to wish you didn't ask by the time I am done LOL
    I want to move on to my favorite feature gardens at the show. I was really drawn to this, but for some reason I only have two photos of the elephant and none of the garden.

    This next feature garden is about saving the watershed upon which I live so it was special to me

    My daughter picked a favorite feature garden. It was called "Come Alive Outside" and was done by landscape Ontario to promote a healthier lifestyle. She was captivated by the gnomes! (Frank? Is that you?)

    This is a wonderful spread, Netty.
    You can't wear ME out. Just keep them coming.
    It is sometimes interesting to see feature gardens. One can get an idea or two from them for their own plots.

    Ahhh more pictures - thank goodness as I was beginning to wonder if I should ask you for more. I never get tired of seeing photographs like yours and look at them time and time again.
    You would have to drag me away from this section of the show as it's always my all time favourite.
    I'd love to have taken that elephant home with me and set it beside a living bench, like the one in your picture, at the edge of my pond. Can you imagine my neighbours faces if they saw it in my garden? :p

    Please post more photographs for us if you can as they're doing me a world of good. :D
