Star of the North Daylilies

 

Three new reblooming daylilies planted in June of 2026 
in the redesigned space in the backyard in Boylston. 

Santa Fe Peony

 

Santa Fe Peony planted in July 2026 in peony bed by the 
back deck at the Lakehouse. 
 Amy saw this peony at the nursery and couldn't resist adding it to Grandmaman's garden.





Stowe Pillar Eastern White Pine



After lots of research on different species of pine trees that grow well in Central Alberta, availability of trees, the quality of a medium size tree and the desire for an evergreen tree to add a little green to our long winters we came up with the Stowe Pillar Eastern White Pine.  Planted in the Northeast corner of our backyard
 in July 2026 in memory of both 
Charlie, (big brown standard poodle) our best dog ever and 
Nike, (big black standard poodle) our other best dog ever,  
this tree is destined to be a very special part of our lakehouse.
A Christmas gift from the kids.
