Garden Muses: A Small Toronto Gardening Services Company Blog While this blog is apparently about gardening in Toronto, it is and it isn't.

This blog offers my thoughts on garden design and horticulture from the perspective of a Toronto gardener and owner of a Toronto gardening company called Paul Jung Gardening Services Inc. Travelling across the city and beyond, I see some strange, beautiful and strangely beautiful things I think you'll enjoy reading and musing about. I'll try to have a gardening or landscaping theme tied to my entries but I can't guarantee that you'll see the connection so be forewarned!

Average soil, full sun in the afternoon, nothing unusual with maintenance, lots of bees....

Everyone's happy!

Before the rain arrived yesterday, I managed to work in a more "naturalistic" garden.

This clump of Eastern Columbine self seeds readily at the edge of a rain garden.
