Open Garden - Katherine & John Lawrence

105 Baker Road, Bowen Island

Most of you will know the Lawrences' garden from the past. There have however been changes. The big garden lot has been sold and bereft of enough to do a second garden has been developed on the landward side of the house. A bridge extends from the back deck over attractive rock outcroppings to a new area of raised beds in a fenced compound; and flower beds in the under story of mature trees. On the ocean side a wealth of flowers and scrubs that have survived the winds and rains of the past, now bask in a new, less gritty regime, of gentler winters and longer, drier summers.
