Year-round cultivation, co-ordination and creativity behind Assiniboine Park's summer splendour
11 minute read Friday, Jun. 2, 2023The grass in the park glistens an electric almost-impossible-to-believe-your-eyes green.
A cloud of blush petals sway against the luminous blue sky; in the English Garden the Rosybloom crabapple tree is in full splendour.
Flowerbeds are ablaze with colour: pink-kissed petals of dianthus; sunrise lantanas; white pentas, and lavender salvia flash brightly against the rich loam.
Weeks of warmer weather coupled with soft, spring rain have done their job: life is once again blossoming in the Assiniboine Park Conservancy.
