Is there a typical Vancouver garden? Was there one at any time in the past? Christine Allen looks back through the photographic record to analyze the gardens of the city's residents, explaining fashions in landscaping, plantings of orchards and vegetable gardens, and trends such as English Cottage and Asian.
Christine Allen is the author of "Gardens of Vancouver" (Raincoast, 1999) as well as books on roses, climbers, and the large garden she created on a farm in South Langley. She is a Master Gardener and a long-time volunteer at VanDusen Garden.
