Monarch Awards' Entrants: Garden Love

Tina's garden, Ancaster

In reviewing the Monarch Awards' Applications for this year, 2019, we were struck by the love, care and respect for nature that the applicants showed as concerns their gardens.

In all 33 applications, there was an authentic desire to support biodiversity in the city, with thoughtful comments like, "giving the birds a place to drink," "a place for pollinators to shelter," etc. Gardeners referred to wildlife as "friends," "visitors," and "other inhabitants."
The gardens themselves were spoken about as being "peaceful," "places of enjoyment," "an oasis,"  "a hidden haven." 


As we await the final decision from the judges, take a moment to read some of the quotes that stood out from amongst the applicants.
