Old meets new in this year’s Green for Life garden at Canada Blooms
 | |
| Landscape Ontario's Green for Life Garden (G9) |
Timeless natural elements form the basis of both halves of the garden, creating two very different atmospheres. Rustic barn timbers are juxtaposed with modern gabion baskets. Sustainability in this garden is first and foremost, with reclaimed stone and wood finding use in both the traditional and the modern landscape. A modern take on the old practice of growing green roofs helps filter storm water runoff as well as air pollutants, reduces heating and cooling costs and extends the lifespan of the roof.
A stalwart drystone lighthouse stands as a beacon over the landscape, representing the knowledge, talents and professionalism of trustworthy Landscape Ontario members. When working with professional members of Landscape Ontario, you can have confidence they will create a safe harbour in your home.
As you exit the garden, look back through the window to see where you started. Styles have changed, design lines have changed, but the purpose of the garden remains the same.
