My Favorite Garden Series

 The Montreal Botanical Garden

Bruce Allentuck, of   Allentuck Landscaping Company, shares his favorite garden: the Montreal Botanical Garden in Montreal, Québec, Canada. 

"Montreal is a city that I had visited and enjoyed with my family when I was younger. When I had the opportunity to go there again recently, I jumped at the chance. One of the places I knew I had to see was the world-renowned Montreal Botanical Garden. It did not disappoint. The garden holds 22,000 species of plants in 22 themed gardens spread out over 185 well planned acres. Among my favorite areas were the perennial garden and the Gardens of Innovation. The Gardens of Innovation showcased new introductions that were still being field tested. Some of them, especially the dahlias, were spectacular and will hopefully be in full production someday soon. We could have easily have spent two or three days to fully take in everything it had to offer."

Art in the Garden

This time of year, most plants are dormant. Garden art can bring joy and whimsey every day of the year. Dave Dunn is a welder with artistic chops and is a long time friend of the firm. Many of Dave's sculptures largely are made up of repurposed mechanical parts like bicycles parts.
