It’s June and a great time for a Manitoulin Island, Canada garden tour. Our place is buzzing and bright with new colors. Learn a bit about the kinds of things that we’re growing here. See how raised pots and containers help to give depth to a growing space. I’ll show you the lilac hedge I planted 20+ years ago, the raspberry canes getting ready to bloom (it’ll be our best harvest yet I expect), and how any garden can increase biodiversity, insects and birds. This video is from 2015 and things looks pretty much the same today.
