Beautiful Old farm garden stone duncan







Very graceful fountains...







Most beautiful garden shop I have ever seen. It's romantic and enchanting with a very old world feel. Even though the shop runs parallel with the TransCanada Highway I immediately felt a calmness as I walked around the statutes listening to the water flowing through all the fountains.



Artistic statues like something you would see in Italy. True art everywhere.
