arry and Brenda Hedberg have pulled together a little piece of heaven in South Surrey, BC and made it uniquely their own. The neatly groomed front yard of the brick house is a gardener’s dream of tidy grasses and trimmed and topiaried shrubs, each carefully chosen to set off the other in a pleasing kaleidoscope of colour and texture. But while we are gazing in delight at the front yard, something even more surprising is happening in the back. Fifty-foot stands of bamboo, happily growing here for 22 years, provide a stately backdrop to the yard and camouflage the little creek that runs behind them. localgardener.net
