There are more people into gardening this year than most years.

The nurseries sold out early.

The pandemic has kept us all closer to home and deciding to plant some vegetable seeds seemed like a great idea to many.

The seed suppliers ran out as well.

The Burlington Food Bank has seven gardening plots around the city – they are looking for people to help out.

Tree flowering - full

Just imagine walking into the sunshine early in the morning and seeing this tree waiting for you to gaze.

If you drive the country back roads with the window down you get to smell what I call the “sweet smell of new mown hay”

Tree flowering close up

The buds were bursting all over the place.

The trees that are in full bloom all seem to have different shades of green.

The Catalpa tree that greeted me as I walked down the lane after picking up the newspaper was bursting with new flower.

The beauty just had to be shared.
