VanDusen Botanical Garden 40th Anniversary
byVanDusen Botanical Garden is a seasonal beacon in Vancouver, a place I visit in the fall for changing colours in the trees, in the winter for the Festival of Lights, and in the spring for the natural pink confetti of the cherry blossoms.
This summer I visited with my niece from Chicago, strolling between fragrant flowers in the gardens and enjoying lunch on the Truffles Cafe patio. This oasis in our city, just off Oak Street, is celebrating 40 years this month and everyone is invited.
