Ottawa got its first glimpse Tuesday of the design and site plan for the Civic Campus of the Ottawa Hospital (Dow's Lake and Prince of Wales). First-class care - and from the artist renderings, a continued commitment to green spaces. The new Civic Hospital Campus will be on the #GardenPromenade between Commissioners Park/Dow's Lake and the Central Experimental Farm. ...

#maythefourthbewithyou - The Garden Awakens This is Villa del Balbianello. It has a strong connection with #StarWars! The villa was shown as the Lake Retreat where Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker hid while Obi-Wan Kenobi tracked down those responsible for attempting to assassinate Amidala and where the clandestine wedding of Skywalker and Amidala took place. (Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones)

Flowers are a popular theme at Mardi Gras house floats In a year without parades, the Mardi Gras in New Orleans is now all about house floats and people decorating their front lawns so people can drive by and enjoy spirited creativity. And it turns out that much of the decor has flowers. As Margaret Jones who lives in Algiers Point told us, We are seeing lots of flowers which kind of surprised me since, in prior years, the floats were more thematic with dragons, birds and pi...rates but there seems to be a unifying theme of flowers everywhere. It’s been a tough year so maybe subconsciously or consciously people used flowers this year because flowers make people happy. #mardigras2021 #housefloats2021 #nola #flowers https://flowerpowerdaily.com/flowers-popular-theme-at-mard/

MAKING U.S. ELECTIONS LOOK AND SMELL BETTER It’s a coincidence that the U.S. election season finishes at the same time fall flowers do. United By Blooms decided to do a get-out-the-vote campaign asking florists and flower farmers to use whatever is leftover from the growing season to make large-scale floral arrangements at street postal boxes and ballot drop-off boxes. They acted as a reminder for people to send their votes by mail, if they choose.... About sixteen mailboxes have been bombed dressed up with extravagant flower arrangements. Many of them cascade with the yellow marigolds, orange dahlias, and golden zinnias of autumn.
