I had been looking forward to this annual plant sale
at VanDusen Botanical Garden for quite some time.
We have neither a garden nor balcony,
so we only bought some herbs and succulent plants for my window gardening .
There were so many vegetable and flowery plants I want to try in the future though.
After finding some nice plants,
we walked around the garden for a while (free admission on the Plant Sale day every year).
Spring flowers were beautifully in bloom and it would be a great place to have a picnic.
We are thinking to bring some lunch with us next year.
まだかなまだかな〜と楽しみにしていたバン・デューセンのプラントセール。
欲しいな〜と思う野菜の苗やお花がたくさんありましたが、
うちにはお庭もベランダもないので目的はハーブと多肉植物。
とにかく人が多いので、ある程度で見切りをつけなければならないのですが、
これは何、あれは何？と聞いて回るのも楽しかったです。
毎年プラントセールの日は入場が無料なので、
お買い物のあとにすこしお庭を歩くことにしました。
春らしいお花が咲き乱れ、とっても得をした気分。
来年はお弁当を持って行こうかな。
プラントセールのあとは「Catch.122」でランチ。
シンプルな味付けで美味しいです。
After the plant sale, we went to this bistro cafe
for a poutine with gorgonzola cheese as an appetizer,
a breakfast called “Hastings” for my hubby
and croissant with smoked salmon and blue cheese for me.
They were simple, but tasty.
