One of the features of this blog is the Friends & Family Garden Tour. I haven’t posted a stop on the tour in quite awhile, but I hope to remedy that during this gardening season.
In a similar vein, I’ve been thinking about adding another virtual tour to Playing in the Dirt: The Neighbourhood Garden Tour. There are so many pretty gardens of all shapes and sizes in the town where I live, and I’d like to show some of them to you on a regular basis.
This is one of my very favourite springtime gardens in our neighbourhood. I call it a sidewalk garden, because the garden is elevated above the level of the sidewalk, at about waist height, so as you walk by it, the flowers and plants are so close by. This spring, this garden is particularly lovely. It features a combination of blooming ground cover plants like phlox and dianthus, emerging low-growing sedums and spring flowering bulbs such as narcissus and grape hyacinths.
The garden is located at the corner of Concession Street and Bradshaw Street in Bowmanville, Ontario.

The sidewalk garden is lovely — and how nice that all those who pass by get to enjoy its beauty. Your idea for a Neighbourhood Garden Tour is one I might implement myself!

It’s so pretty, isn’t it? All that gorgeous spring colour. Makes me want to add some more spring blooming perennials to our garden.
I look forward to seeing the gardens in your neighbourhood, too!
