Highlights of the VanDusen Show (continued)

A serene oasis greeted visitors to the Avant Gardener display garden designed by Georgina Horrobin.

Upon closer inspection, little bits of whimsy crept into one's conscious, like the pig in chef's gear standing in a mini-field of lavender. Then there was the little rat (concrete version, thankfully), with tummy upturned to the sun's warm rays asleep on a nice, warm pile of composted earth. A delightful garden.

If you've thrown up your hands at the surge in the slug population this year, maybe you might want to invest in some nice real estate for them, like these slug houses.
