"Darts Hill Garden Park - Surrey, BC

            Mother's Day - May 12, 2019
South Surrey, BC Canada

Under Francisca’s hard work and tender care, Darts Hill became a true plantsman’s garden containing countless species and varieties of plants from all over the world. A plantsman’s garden can be defined as a garden that is devoted to the finest horticultural examples of plants available, whether species or hybrids, which will succeed in that garden. 

It is unlike a botanical garden in that it does not attempt to grow all known species or varieties of any plant group; and it is unlike a display garden in that it is not particularly concerned with formal patterns and bedding designs. 

What Darts Hill has to offer is a wondrous collection of mature trees, shrubs, and perennials, set out in over 50 beds among winding mossy pathways and open lawns.

Mrs. Darts developed a particular affection for rhododendrons and magnolias, and her collection of these species is outstanding. 

As Mrs. Darts planted trees and shrubs with features of all-season interest, the garden is remarkable in every month of the year.
