It’s that magical time of the year again folks! Time for the A.M. (Mac) Cuddy Gardens Open House!

            (Running from Saturday, June 1st 10am-4pm until Sunday, June 2nd 11am-4pm!)

This week has been non-stop enthusiasm and work for all of us student gardeners all in anticipation of our favourite weekend. Edging and weeding, and mulching, oh my! We started the week off with just Dave, Lucas and I prepping the gardens and finishing off an inviting flagstone walkway that leads you into the amazing rose garden. This year we’re making it interesting and have even added a very grand water feature in the rose garden!

Wednesday we were joined by not only 3 more members of our team from the Fanshawe College grounds but also by some wide-eyed and eager high school students from Niagara. After being shown around the beautiful gardens by our very own Michael Pascoe the students were divided into groups with a student gardener as the leader and we embarked on a once in a lifetime scavenger hunt!

To bring this high-speed, high-energy week to an end the remaining Fanshawe College student gardeners joined us for two of the most intense days! The gardens here at Cuddy’s are not only flourishing but so is our team. There’s nothing like succulents and sweat to bring everyone closer together!
