My day started with the 3:20 a.m Van Galder bus (from Janesville) to O'Hare airport this morning. Of course, the check-in process was just as much fun as the security check point but I did make it to my gate with plenty of time to spare. The 4.25 hour flight went well and I found myself quickly enjoying Vancouver this afternoon after checking in at the hotel and for the Perennial Plant Association Conference. I'm sharing a room with Ed Lyon, former RBG Director and now Director of Allen Centennial Gardens (UW-Madison campus). We walked around a bit later this afternoon and had a nice dinner at a local restaurant (Thai). Ed's airport/travel nightmares were remarkable (including sleeping in the Denver airport last night..) but we're looking forward to a great week. Above and below are photos from the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. I saw this garden with my last trip to Vancouver (12 years ago?) and enjoyed it just as much. Further down are shots from the Davie Village Community Garden just down the street from our hotel. It was nice to see this garden in the middle of urbanization and the amazing amount of work and commitment to maintaining this space is evident. Tomorrow Ed and I go on a bus tour to many gardens. Some of the images below have descriptive captions.

Excellent overview! WPC panels in India are gaining serious popularity, especially in modern home and office interiors. Their combination of durability, aesthetic appeal, and sustainability makes them a top choice. I appreciate your mention of climate compatibility—it's crucial in Indian weather conditions. Could you do a price comparison across different regions or brands? That would be super helpful for buyers trying to make an informed choice. Thanks for the informative content—keep it coming!

ReplyDeleteBig plastic bags are a lifesaver when it comes to managing bulk storage, especially in industrial or agricultural settings. I’ve found them incredibly helpful for storing grains and construction materials. Their durability and capacity make them far superior to regular plastic sacks. Does anyone have recommendations for environmentally friendly Big plastic bags options? I'm trying to reduce my carbon footprint while maintaining quality. Would love to hear about any suppliers or sustainable alternatives that don't compromise on strength or usability. Also, has anyone tested reusable versions in commercial use?
