This is wide shot of the Patrick Seymour Alpine Garden at the end of the property. It contains lovely flowers and plants. It was back to the entrance of the garden to meet my aunt who chose not to arrive as early as I did. We decided to visit the Indoor Houses together. The tropical one holds flowers and butterflies, the arid has succulents and the temperate other plants. We were mostly after butterflies.
I love the metal elements I found in the garden. The knobs in the photo on the left are on the very large doors at the entrance of the garden. There are six on each door. A very simple and elegant shape. The image in the center is the part of the Friendship Bell in the garden. The 1,500 pound bell symbolizes the bonds of friendship between the University of Alberta and the university founded by Dr. Kurimoto, Nagoya Shoka Diagaku. The floral plate is where the hammer strikes the bell. The photo on the right is the wooden hammer suspended on chains which makes ringing the bell quite easy.
A great place to visit and they host several photographer's drop-in mornings during the summer. Check out their website for more details. |
