Carefully Tended Community Garden

ONE OF THE littlest libraries in BC is at the foot of the Alexandra Community Garden. I might be reading too much into it but the honour system must flourish here amid the plants since there is no need for a library card.

Thanks to the welcoming atmosphere created by volunteer-tenders from the Rosemary Heights and White Rock Senior Villages, passersby can pause a while to read or dream or watch the vegetables grow.

I noticed that the birdbath was scrubbed clean and replenished with water.

The daisies were primped and gloriously beaming.

Strawberry plants were heartily growing and a picnic table ...

set with a vase full of flowers was prettily arranged by the garden tenders.

Down the street, a poppy with bluish-gray spores waved as I walked by. I have seen pink and red but this lone pale-purple bloom was a garden unto itself.

  10. All is comfortable at that community garden with flowers, clean birdbath basin, and people’s good will . The purplish poppy is new to me. When it comes to Poppy, I’m always interested in the color combination of petals, stamens, and pistil. Mauve, blue, and greenish color produces coolness.

    I like the casual flower arrangement on the wood fence in the next post.
