If you are willing to invest the money and time in care, a large tree can be trans- planted into the yard to cre- ate a shady spot in a few years as opposed to decades. In Canada, a tree with a maximum caliper or trunk diameter of 25 cm can be across the gar- den over the course of a day “ oe vou vould like th GARDEN ‘2 GRACES shade to be in roots have a to ground. selection of = . the garden. Decide if the tree is for sit- ting under or to shade the house on a hot day. Hire a reputable landscap- er or contractor and tree grower since trees this size may not be-guaranteed if they die.

If transplanting a large tree isn’t possible due to the cost or space restrictions, a shady oasis can be built. Arbors, pergolas and gaze- bos draped with vines and framed with potted flowers create an inviting place to Test from the sun and view the world. These can be rus- tic retreats built from rough- hewn logs to fanciful Victorian confections to Stately stone pillars with large crossbeams. There is a style to suit everyone’s home and personal taste. They can be built from scratch or bought ready to assemble from building stores or spe- cialty garden centres. Most vines create a dense enough cover to keep out all but the heaviest downpours but if you want something totally weatherproof, awning _ fabric or a proper roof can be used. Fast-growing annual vines include the morning glories, purple cup flower, scarlet runner beans and poe or squash vines for a dual purpose vine. Perennial vines include clematis, vir- ginia creeper, sweet-scented honeysuckles and wisteria, the positively rampant silver lace vine, dutchman’s pipe (zone 6), trumpet creeper and, for the do-it-yourself wine-maker, hardy grapes. In the meantime, you can always buy a patio umbrella.

Cunningham was not able to predict the full effects the social contract will have. He admitted there would be reductions, but insisted he could-not specify. where the cuts would be made until town council decides where the cuts will be required. The ~ town council has not yet set a date to make the decision. {storm back Under-195 at Alcott By Helen Bilik Tuesday night saw Halton meet Streetsville for @ regular scheduled game at Alcott field. : Streetsville came on strong and tied the game b: the end of the first half 2-2.
