Another year has come and gone, we are now 2/3’s of the way through our posting in Barbados, where does the time go!
January
I visited the Barbados Horticulture Society Garden Show for the first time. What beautiful hibiscus!
February
Ian had to go to Nassau on business, so I tagged along. Another country to add to my count.
March
A week long cruise to five different Caribbean islands bumped up my country count some more.
April
Had my first face to face visit with the fabulous Mr. T.
May
Back to visit Brian Bixleys garden, I know feel the need for Sanguinaria canadensis ‘Multiplex’, or double bloodroot.
June
My white eremurus finally bloomed, only took 2 years.
July
Lots of garden visiting going on, this was an amazing garden in Rosedale.
August
Trying to keep up my design skills, despite not working for two years.
September
Yikes, hard to see all my freshly applied gravel
Spent most of my first weeks at home, weeding.
October
Got to see a tiny bit of fall colour before we headed back to Barbados.
November
Perfected the art of Sundowners, or cocktails to you northern folks.
December
Christmas on the island, what a glorious feeling.
Interested in what happened last year? You can read about it here, 2010 here.
I am a floral designer living in a tiny condo in downtown Toronto, Canada's largest city. But on the weekend, I am a gardener/frustrated architect trying to keep up with a 3/4 acre garden in Owen Sound, Ontario, a warm (to Canadians, Zone 5b, and a cold (to Americans, Zone 4b) garden.
