Virtual Fall Fair

With torrential rain in September and heat domes in June, Lynn Valley's gardeners needed to adapt and innovate to make a garden worth celebrating! So many of you have. Short walks around the neighbourhood have discovered 10ft tall sunflowers - favourites of ours! - dazzling dahlias and whimsical wildflowers. The pandemic shift to gardening has stayed strong. 

Produce proud and sunflower successes

We want to share the gardening glory and hard work being invested in yards and patios. More than anything we would love to gather and look at your summer projects - woodwork, quilts and art. While we would really love to taste your jams, jellies, pickles, and pies, it doesn't seem like the most covid-responsible idea.Instead, we are putting together a digital Fall Fair - we want to share your hard work with our readers and Facebook followers.
