 | Heritage Garden Tours, Victoria, BC
Victorian Garden Tours invites you to come with us and explore the beautiful heritage gardens of Victoria, British Columbia - Canada's garden city.
Heritage Garden Tours of Victoria, BC Victoria is truly a city of heritage gardens. We invite you to join us in visiting some of these heritage gardens - some of which are the legacies of Victoria's most talented and eccentric personalities.
With Victoria's mild climate, gardening is a year round passion which has resulted in an abundant array of gardens world renowned for their beauty and individual charm.
Heritage Garden Tours (an expression of Victorian Garden Tours Ltd.) are offered on a year round basis and specialize in:
* Guided & Narrated tours of public and private heritage gardens
* Customized tours for groups of all sizes.
* Special group packages available
* Complimentary transportation to heritage gardens
Our unique personalized tours will introduce you to heritage gardens both creative & colorful, so bring your camera, and comfortable shoes. These gardens range from larger Edwardian estates with their original plantings and structures to intimate heritage homes and gardens (including private gardens). One such tour, the Emily Carr garden tour, includes an introduction to her art, exploring the historic community in which she grew up, and exploring the landscape which inspired her paintings (inlcludes a visit to an old growth forest).
As we travel the scenic routes to the heritage gardens (depending on the season) we'll make stops along the way to observe and share the local and historic sites we are passing. Someof these sites relate to Victoria's First Nations history and heritage.
During your tour experience, meals can be arranged that range from English tea at a quaint tea room to a pub meal at British Columbia's oldest pub.
Visitors who have enjoyed our tours have ranged from non-gardeners to those who are novice home gardeners to those who are leading horticulturists. Enjoy a few hours or the entire day seeing the best heritage gardens Victoria and Southern Vancouver Island has to offer.
*Please Note: to avoid disappointment, advance notice required. Book your tour today!

 | Daimaoh's Homepage
I write a dialy every day on this trip and, Japanese users can read the dialy on my homepage.
However, I cannot write any diary or anything like that in English.
(And... after the trip, I cannot transfer the dialy to English...of course...)
And then, I made the page, Where am I now!?. You can see some pictures which I took.
Please enjoy it!

 | Archives | Victoria Grid Project
The Victoria Grid Project is a group of photographers, artists, videographers, urbanists and writers - all interested in the city of Victoria. We come together to document everything from the mundane to spectacular areas of our city.
The idea was born from the Portland Grid Project. Once a month we randomly choose a grid from our map and document the area any way that we can. The aim of this project is to keep a continuous membership, ebbing and flowing, for many years in order to record our changing city and its residents. Nearing the end of 2007, we hope to amalgamate as many entries as possible into a gallery showing.
The bulk of our documentation will be displayed in our Flickr group, Victoria Grid Project , or our You Tube account, Victoria Grid Project. However, this website will showcase our experiences and link to the various mediums we have chosen to use.
In order to participate, you must follow the specific area for the specific month and keep your feet planted with the grid borders. Remember, there is no limit on how you choose to experience the grid just where and when. With your help, we will have a record of our city that will last for years to come.
The grid for March 2008 is H24.

 | Aivars Logins Sooke Wood Artist and Wood Turner
A passion for wood and closeness to nature gives Aivars the unique ability to see beyond the surface and find the inner beauty locked within the grain, textures and irregularities of the wood. Because of this, each piece is a work of art and no two pieces are alike. His work is known and collected around the world.
All of the wood Aivars works with is native to the Sooke area and part of the local history.
Much of this wood is considered logging waste and is destined to be burned. In his ocean side studio, he creates beautiful bowls, boxes, planters, mirrors, kitchen ware, burled furniture and carvings of the highest quality that compliment any interior setting.
All pieces are finished with non-toxic bees wax or 100% pure unrefined tung oil, to retain the natural patina and beauty of the wood.
Stop in and visit the studio located on the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island. Browse the many finished pieces on display or watch the artist himself at work.(keep an eye open for the sign)

 | Grant Smalley's Pipe Organs
Grant has had a passion for the Pipe Organ from an early age. Born in Sidney, BC, he was a choir boy at St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Victoria. The sound of the organ fascinated him and he was determined to understand how it worked. After high school he was able to obtain a job with Hugo Spilker, the local organ builder. They serviced instruments with a variety actions and all manner of pipework, some quite historic. After two years, Grant went to work with Gabriel Kney in London, Ontario. The firm built new, mechanical action organs for markets in Canada and throughout the United States.
Returning to Victoria, Grant again worked with Hugo Spilker and gradually bought out his business. Most of the pipe organs on Vancouver Island have been under his care since 1984. His wife, Bev, works with him and manages the office.
We have designed and built two Continuo chest organs, small new 2 manual and pedal church organs and several 2, 3 and 4 manuals consoles. Rebuilds and additions to local instruments have been undertaken as well as restorations of historic tracker organs.

 | Phil's Farm
I'm Farmer Phil. I've been farming here for over 20 years,
full time for 11plus years. Enough about me. Meet my helpers:
Patti, our beloved Labrador greeter passed away on January 4th 2009.
Ebony (our new puppy) has joined our team to make everyone happy. She's sleeps a lot but is quick to please.
Giankour is a great picker and also helps with pruning the raspberries. We have worked together for 9 or 10 seasons.
This is Flora Wood, "The Bug Hunter". She is an Agroecologist with a B.Sc. from the University of British Columbia. She owns and operates a company called Flora Crop Consulting (Integrated Pest Management)
The goals of IPM are:
Replace pesticides with non-toxic alternatives and good management.
Redesign management and cultural controls, with an eye to preventing pest problems before they occur, and encouraging beneficial species.
In 2002-03, we released over 350,000 Ladybugs to help with pests. More Ladybugs were released in 2005-06. Ladybugs eat Aphids for breakfast, lunch, and supper. This is a beautiful thing as Aphids are the vector for the "Blueberry Scorch Virus", which is fatal to blueberry plants. Flora work is very important to the continued success of Phil's Farm. She can be reached at 250-885-5995. Without good bugs, we wouldn't have such fabulous crops.
