Aldona at Large: It's Good News Week
The redbud in this photo may be weeping, but I'm all smiles: the City parking lot in front of our building is just getting a few last-minute finishing touches before it reopens. Hallelujah! All of us can now breathe a sigh of relief and put seven long months of inconvenience, mess and disruption behind us as we revel not only in the luxury of plentiful parking, but also in the beautiful new plantings in the island beds. If that isn't enough, the TBG Garden Café in the nearby historic barn has just reopened for the season, which means that visitors and staff can enjoy fresh, wholesome, tasty, moderately priced lunches and treats-along with good coffee and tea-prepared by our talented friends at à la Carte Kitchen Inc. Truly, my cup of happiness runneth over (yes, I am a simple woman).
In spring, the TBG becomes a hive of activity. Literally. We recently welcomed a fresh influx of beekeepers-in-training, and we will be getting a third beehive this year. Our gentle Italian honeybees are fascinating creatures. Thanks to Cathy Kozma, Oliver Couto and Mylee Nordin of the Toronto Beekeepers Cooperative for their wonderful, ongoing guidance and support.
