Blissful Friday GPODers!
We’re ending the week with an replace from frequent GPOD contributor, Cherry Ong. Cherry sends us so many fabulous pictures of her travels to gardens throughout Canada and the Pacific Northwest (GPOD on the Highway: Outdated Montreal, Bellevue Botanical Backyard, Hatley Citadel, Niagara-on-the-Lake, and Tofino Botanical Gardens to call a couple of). However she does often share pictures from her personal stunning backyard in Richmond, British Columbia (October in Cherry’s Backyard, Late Winter and Early Spring in Cherry’s Backyard, Wreath Making with Cherry). At this time we get to see how her area has developed over the previous 12 months (Cherry’s Summer season That Was) and what it regarded like because it closed out summer time.
Hope you’re having a beautiful week! Thought I might share some pictures of my very own backyard. This set displays August. I hope you and your readers get pleasure from them.
Wishing you all a contented Halloween!

My little perennial yard backyard. All DIY in 2008. Onerous to consider this was all grass again then. The east portion of the walkway was eliminated 2 years in the past to make approach for a small greenhouse.
Love abutilons and I’m at all times as much as attempt a brand new one. This white one is smaller than the others I’ve tried and is known as ‘Albus’ abutilon (Abutilon x Hybridum ‘Albus’, Zones 8–11).
A closeup of the blooms of ‘Albus’ abutilon.
One other view of the yard from the gate. Many unique plantings from 2008 stay.
Our little glass greenhouse on the east aspect of the backyard. It measures 6 ft x 8 ft with single pane glass on aluminum body (Halls Supreme). We picked up this magnificence from Russell Nursery in Vancouver Island after being on the waitlist for two years.
I’ve a lot enjoyable planting succulent hanging planters each spring.
They’re taken aside on the finish of the season and I save as many vegetation as I can.
There are three Japanese maples in our yard – the 2 listed here are ‘Beni Otake’ and ‘Ukigumo’ (Acer Palmatum ‘Beni Otake’ and ‘Ukigumo’, Zones 5–9). ‘Ukigumo’ is the one to the proper and behind the classic birdhouse.
Don’t you like outdated containers which are falling aside! I take advantage of them to fill the gaps of perennials which have gone into early dormancy.
Thanks a lot for this stunning replace in your backyard, Cherry! Your unimaginable succulent mixtures by no means stop to amaze and encourage me.
