Bowen Island Garden Club Open Garden at the Walsh’s

This property was part of a parcel homesteaded dating back to 1908 when Dave’s great-grandparents Sarah and Jacob Dorman purchased it. Jacquie and Dave’s new house was built in 2013/14.

Depending on late summer and fall weather there should be various things of interest at this time of year. Foliage colour of deciduous trees will be the main one. There will be a range of them on various varieties of Japanese, Paperbark and Vine maples, Dawn Redwood, and Antarctic Beech among others. There should be some shrubs such as Euonymus alatus and Hibiscus colouring up as well and also grasses and possibly a few roses and perennials still in flower.
