Kingsbrae Garden in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada


We decided to do a bit of sightseeing while here in New Brunswick. Bruce wanted to go to Minister's Island, and, of course, I chose the Kingsbrae Horticultural Garden.



Bruce was tired by the time we got there after touring the huge house on the island so he mostly sat while I enjoyed myself wandering the paths.


If he had gone a little further he may have been more impressed.


My Daughter, Susy would have liked these teapot trees,


and I know two of my grandchildren would have loved this horse.
 They were both in the children's section of the garden that entered through this arbor:


My daughter Anita has globe thistles like these in her garden but when I think of thistles I think of weeds.



Maybe after seeing these I may be tempted to grow some myself.

There was nothing peach colored in the garden so my daughter, Samantha wouldn't have been very impressed, but I enjoyed it.

 I am reading what I wrote and it seems obvious that I am missing my family;  everything in the garden reminded me of them.

I love it here, but I'll be quite happy to get back to my own garden and my family next week.
