?When we arrived in 1979, there was no garden, so work on the garden started right away,? Lang says.
Planning is needed to keep a garden going in extreme climates. ?Many bulbs are planted in the fall, and I especially love allium and lilies,? she says. Perennials are divided in the fall, which allows the homeowner to try new planting compositions.
Lang picks plants carefully and uses grow lights in the basement to keep cuttings from the garden in the house over the winter.Young and Lang?s garden is designed for someone who loves to work in the soil. There are six categories of plants in the garden, and each group requires a different treatment in the fall. The trees are pruned by an arborist to control their size and ensure that they can tolerate heavy snow. Shrubs are also cared for in this way, although some shrubs are pruned in the spring. Lang says her mantra is, ?Spring bloom, summer prune; summer bloom, spring prune.?The garden was designed in the English cottage garden style to enhance the English Tudor house, while keeping in mind that the climate in northern Ontario is not at all the same as in England.
