I want to be a bit cheeky and show you a few great sitting areas in Long Beach Peninsula gardens. While touring these gardens at the beach I found fun little elements that spoke about the character of each garden I visited.
April's plant
Oemleria cerasiformis (osoberry)
Many years ago, I lived where we had woods, consisting mainly of Big leaf maple and Red alder, on the south side of our home. Osoberry was the main plant in the understory. Mornings, during late winter, the flowers would light up the deciduous woodland whenever the sun peeked out of the perpetual clouds.
