Inscription: ... With this garden I wanted to play to the specifics of this site, and at the same time create a place that enhanced the changing seasons both visually and fragrantly.  The black of the Harbourfront Centre Theatre, the red bricks of the Power Plant and the shape of Grecian urns become backdrops and props for the main players - the plants.  The fragrance of both plants and shrubs drifting on the terrace, may trigger happy memories for those that wander by.  As the plants move through their life cycle, the shape of the trees and colour and scent of the flora will punctuate the seasons.  A small garden - a place to pause, breathe in the fragrance and smile.
The artist wishes to thank Tredegar Kennedy for fabricating the urns, and  Melanie Page of TERRA FIRMA for advise and suggestions on the plants.
