nder the shade of a very old silver maple tree and behind a traditional two-storey Portage la Prairie home lies the hidden garden of Willy Klassen. Originally from Charleswood, Willy moved to Portage to work for Simplot where he helps make french fries for McDonald’s. From the street, the view is of a shady corner hugging a boardwalk behind a hedge. An Adirondack chair overlooks a garden filled with hostas and shade-happy daylilies, the scene decorated with carefully chosen rock under the canopy of another mature tree. There are various rustic artifacts begging for a closer look. Nice, you think, admiring the effort localgardener.net
