Also on Wednesday, March 21, we went to the Taichung City Seaport Art Centre. We saw some amazing works of art and although we couldn’t take photos, we were given two books featuring some of the art we saw. Which we were thrilled to receive.
The tour guides showing us around were all volunteers and they were amazing! We learned a lot and I found out that there are three elements that need to exist in a Chinese garden.
1. It must have a pavilion.
Who says you can’t have a garden while living in Toronto?
Matt decided to plant a garden this year. Our building’s landlords are pretty good about this sort of stuff and since it isn’t located at the front of the building, it’s somewhat hidden away… allowing us to have a garden that’s somewhat in the open (to help avoid people tampering with it), but out of the way enough to not draw too much attention.
We have some small carrots growing, a type of peas (yummy!), two different tomato varieties, some basil, thyme and other yummy things.
This photo was taken at the end of June and already the garden has grown. I’ll upload current photos soon. Before you know it, we’ll have tomatoes!
If you visit my Flickr page, you’ll see some macro photos from the garden as well. :)
Enjoy!
