H-B House is open!

Haig-Brown House is open and running, at full tilt I might add.
My name is Sandra and I'm the 2009 Site Manager and your B&B Host at this incredibly beautiful heritage house.
My moving in (still a work in progress!) has been exciting, and, with the help of those of the Museum at Campbell River, a lot of fun.
Among the many joys here is the ever-changing garden. Ann Haig-Brown was an ardent gardener and created the formal lawn, lined with rhododendrons, the magnolia, and a variety of other trees and annuals.
I photographed many spring flowers and it looks like that fun little task will be ongoing.
Now, the peonies are popping open, the rhodos are festive in petticoat colours, the dogwood is blooming (though technically not a flower) and a number of other plants whose names I'm just learning about are budding and blooming.
Hopefully, my pictures do them justice, though there's no smellovision here, so you'll simply have to imagine the heady, aromatic scents which the air is full of here! Pure aromatherapy!
A deer got in the other evening by not only jumping a gate, but also breaking off one of the additional upright 'sticks' which have been attached to prevent just that! One determined deer...
Now, it's time to plant the vegetable garden, after re-wiring the rabbit fence around the perimeter. Looking forward to fresh garden veggies!
