A Garden in the Okanagan Valley

By: Kim Charles

Wendy Newman from British Columbia has works that support out in her garden throughout all season .

" My garden in Oliver , BC is in the eye of the South Okanagan , an area known for its sunshine and blistering , dry summers . However , I last on the floodplain of the Okanagan River , where we are hem in by tall cottonwood and weeping willows intersperse with water birch and lushly spring up red osier dogwood . When I moved to the Okanagan Valley five years ago , the property had some okay tall trees embed along the holding line with most of the rest a wide of the mark area of lawn with pocket-sized prime beds around the sign . Since then I ’ve created wide borders , terraces , and island for planting . The front of the property is now filled with shrubs , perennial and many self - sowing yearly and biennials . The backyard incudes an old horse barn , fields and a boggy Natalie Wood . Closer to the theatre the back garden now features a pergola , along with a big kitchen garden and a variety of Berry , yield and testis tree . "
