Nature Manitoba Garden Tour 2018

By Dyarnell @dyarnell

My name is Derek Yarnell and my garden is at 115 Girton. Thank you for supporting Nature Manitoba. I hope you enjoy my gardens and the tour. 

The most frequent questions I get from garden visitors are: 

  • "How long have you been here?" 
  • "What was it like when you arrived?"


To that end I am posting photos of the gardens when we arrived in the fall of 2012. If you like, you can pull up a "before" photo as you look at a garden bed for a super-accurate "before and after" look.
In case you are curious about any of the plants I am also posting maps of the garden beds (well a few of them anyway).

The "Moon Garden" (north side, front yard) was noting but nasty Creeping Bellflower and cedars that have been moved to the back.
