Tuscan Farm Gardens

December 19, 2005 by Andrea Bellamy Leave a Comment


Like Girl Gone Gardening, I dream of owning a small farm. I’d grow my own organic produce, raise chickens and goats, sell eggs and veggies and bouquets of flowers at a roadside honesty stand, and have way too many cats. Sigh…

Tuscan Farm Gardens is one couple’s version of that dream. Their 80 acre family estate, 40 minutes east of Vancouver in rural Langley, started when the retired couple moved from city life to “playing in the dirt” and has since become a destination garden, Bed and Breakfast, and apothecary. Famous for endless fields of lavender and echinecea, this West Coast farm is as close to Tuscany as I’ll be getting – at least for a year or two.

Read Heather’s Journal for the low-down on how their dream evolved, and add Tuscan Farm Gardens to your itinerary for your next trip to Vancouver.
