Gardening Community

Cathi is fortunate to have a
dear friend who lives close to, and is a member of Longwood Gardens. In
November of 2013 she took Cathi and her husband, Michel to visit this
spectacular site, and it’s been a love affair since. Every time they would
visit, they make a point to go see the gardens and displays. What is so unique,
is that every year and every season it is different. No matter how many times
you go, you’ll always see something new, something breathtaking. Cathi has over
a thousand photos of Longwood and no she is not going to subject you to all of
them! It was hard to narrow it down to those you are going to see, but I hope
this gives you an idea of what Longwood has to offer and that at some point you
get to see it for yourself.

Rolling Out the Red Carpet Around the World: The Role of Ceremonial Boulevards
Confederation Boulevard — the NCC’s flagship ceremonial boulevard in the Capital — provides an elegant streetscape for some of the nation’s most important sites and institutions, and is a focus for national celebrations.
This Urbanism Lab event will examine the importance of Confederation Boulevard, and invite experts from elsewhere to share their expertise and insights on the role of iconic and ceremonial boulevards in other capital cities.
