Rural Gardens of Grey Bruce A collective of gardeners have created a marvelous form of horticultural show-and-tell. “Rural Gardens of Grey and Bruce Counties” is an organization of both hobbyist and professional gardeners that not only welcome visitors but also share their green thumb secrets. The more than two-dozen member sites range from internationally recognized gardens to lush organic crops to sanctuaries for butterflies. Some gardens have decorations including sculptures, toy trains, miniature villages and unusual grapevine structures. Visit www.ruralgardens.ca to print off a map, or pick up a brochure at any local information centre. Admission is by set fee or a recommended donation of $2. Visiting hours vary and some sites are by appointment only.
