I love gardens. I have this huge adoration of taking pictures of flowers. In most of my travels and even just around Montreal, I love to go to gardens.
Here we are with a bundle of gardens that I’ve been to. Anything that has flowers or vegetation of some sort in an enclosed space large or small is a garden to me. From to the lavender fields in the Quebec’s Eastern Townships…
or overseas in Nan Lian Gardens…
and Hong Kong Park.
Heading back into the West Coast with the gorgeous Butchart Gardens…
And then, back home to Montreal based Botanical Gardens taken during the Lantern Festival with the Japanese Pavillion Evening Route
and finally ending with an pumpkin carved garden for Pumpkin Inferno at Upper Canada Village.
I’ve posted about the Lantern Festival and Pumpkin Inferno last year so I linked it in case you’d like to check out those posts.
I just couldn’t decide which photos to focus on but all of these created some pretty beautiful “garden” moments for me and some pretty sweet memories. Thank you to Sue for landing on this word in her dictionary for this week! Flipping through my pictures to select them for this challenge was so much fun and I’m just saying, she’s absolutely awesome!

Which gardens that you’ve been to do you like the most? Where was it? I’d love to hear about it!








Awesome pics. The Hong Kong Park is beautiful.
Thanks!
Its beautiful and huge! And whats great about it is that its a free public park with an aviary and pond and fountains.
Oh, wow! That Botanical Gardens photo is beautiful! So much color, and moody… I love how the middle tree stands out in a gorgeous array of autumn colors. Excellent work!
Thanks Jack
Glad you like it!
It was one of the most amazing walks ever. There was a kinda of eerie feeling at parts and all the lights projected onto the trees and paths really gave it a really nice feeling!
