This week’s at Southlands.
In September, Vancouver gardens transition into early fall with late-bloomers like Dahlias and Japanese anemones providing vivid colour alongside ripening fruit and lush ornamental grasses. Golden sunlight softens the foliage as cooler nights hint at the upcoming seasonal shift, creating a rich, textured garden landscape.
