Three vignettes from 2013’s Toronto Island Garden Tour, all featuring ostrich ferns (Matteuccia struthioperis) and the rich azure known as Majorelle blue. A little bit of Morocco at the edge of Lake Ontario – and somehow it works. I love this colour combo. What do you think of it?

Now that’s a good way to repurpose a birdbath base, with a blue transferware “gazing ball”

And, as you might guess, this is my favourite. A shrine to all things lost and found. Isn’t that what salvage art is about?
