I try and keep a running tab of treasures that need be visited if I'm in the areas.

The Art gallery is moving to a bigger venue (yet to be constructed) along the Sask river. No clear indication as to how they might redesign the conservatory.vijay kachruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01758646945346505204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428399855033732471.post-67602380608471214372012-08-15T18:23:06.110-07:002012-08-15T18:23:06.110-07:00Yay!

I have been lusting over that one but bought a smaller one a couple months ago.

I think the people working there know by now that "No I don't need any help, I'm just looking" as I walk around and around looking at every plant even when I have no intention of buying anything. The cactus display at this nursery is amazing. I love the idea of a collection of a lot of small cacti, like the tray full of them in the pic. Do you know what plant (yucca?) is in the picture bellow the Bougainvillea and above the bromeliads?

Otherwise, I'd be there every day. I could spend a fortune there right now. They have so many amazing plants... Including a growing eucalyptus section that I keep going back to.Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219272603726629982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428399855033732471.post-56718389751039322422012-08-15T08:59:25.599-07:002012-08-15T08:59:25.599-07:00I think I'm in love!

There's the wholes cheesy saying something along the lines of planting a garden is like believing in tomorrow. But it's kind of true. I think it says something about a person. But it also speaks of slowing down and appreciating the beauty of nature. I could just get on a romanticized rant of how wonderful nurseries are!!!! <br /><br />I love the tire planters! And you are right, hillbilly circle pots!!! That's probably what makes me love them so much. My inner hillbilly and my love for the circle pot.Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219272603726629982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428399855033732471.post-73197190023079923572012-08-14T22:27:45.351-07:002012-08-14T22:27:45.351-07:00Nice visit, nice nursery.
