www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, February 26, 2015 | 6 Spotlight "Connected to your Community" A T O U C H O F G R E E N Oakville Beaver photographer Graham Paine followed footprints in the snow last Sunday at Oakville's Municipal Greenhouses on Cornwall Road, to discover a tropical wonderland. A truly hidden gem, the facility is open seven days a week from January to June, and features lush tropical and native plants, owers and trees, some from as far away as Australia, a waterfall and a pond. At top left, greenhouse operator Galina Tchouprikova checks the needles of a 15-ft. Norfolk Island pine. The Norfolk Islands are off the coast of Australia. At right, the facility offers a sea of colour that includes, from left, a pond of koi and gold sh, the breathtaking pink owers of a cyclamen and the bright hues of a Ponderosa lemon tree, known for its sour-tasting, colourful fruit.
