PUBLISHER Finally, the days are getting longer, brighter, and warmer. Even though we are staring down the sixth wave of the pandemic, we are able to gather again with family and friends. Slowly events are coming back into our lives and oh how we have missed those. Over the past couple of years, many charities have had the challenging task of trying to meet increased demand for their services while facing significant decline in revenue and donations. The pandemic has had a very negative impact on local charities. Without the ability to host events, donations have been affected. If you have an event, please let us know. We are happy to showcase your event on our website and we will do our best to include as many as we can in print. The future looks bright, so we will continue to be optimistic yet cautious in our day-to-day living. Be kind, be safe!

EDITOR’S LETTER

It’s not often I end up with an afternoon just to myself. With three busy kids ages five and under, I’m surrounded by little hands constantly clawing for my attention. But today, just as the spring sun beamed on my desk, my husband swept the kids away for a playful afternoon at the park. Soaking in the sun and the content of this issue, I discovered both are just beaming with the freshness of Spring. Speaking of Spring, it looks like it’s here to stay – and that means it’s time to start thinking about your garden. Our Home and Garden feature is blooming with florals. Should you plant annuals, perennials, or both? Our experts have all the dirt! Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and we want to help you celebrate your sweet mama with a special gift just for her! Shop our Mother’s Day gift guide for truly one-of-a-kind gifts. Whether it’s collecting model cars or comic books, hobbyists have an eye for unique and fun paraphernalia – lucky for locals, our area is home to a number of oneof-a-kind hobby shops.

CREATE YOUR OWN

BACKYARD OASIS BY ERIN PEPLER

Look Local Volume 5 | Issue 3

pringtime is finally here, and summer is so close we can taste it. If you’re dreaming of backyard dinners, walking barefoot through the grass, or lounging in a hammock beside a gorgeous garden, now is the time to plan your outdoor space—and we’ve got expert tips to help you bring your dream to life. BEAUTIFY YOUR GARDEN BEDS

It doesn’t matter if you like a neatly mulched garden with rows of flowers or something lush and a little wild—do whatever makes you happy. Perennials are ideal for garden beds as they come back year after year, offering great value and less prep. Gabrielle Polman of Bradford Greenhouses Garden Gallery in Springwater notes that there are plenty of perennial options that grow well in the region including hostas for shady areas and black-eyed Susans for sunnier areas. “Black-eyed Susans are great for attracting butterflies to a garden,” she adds. “This year, people are looking for bright, happy colours.” Kristopher Orchard of OC Emporium in Orillia says hydrangeas remain popular because they’re large, sophisticated, and stately, but irises are definitely having a moment. “The bearded iris is very popular, and they come in a range of over 90 colours and shades.” Orchard anticipates continued demand for shades of white, blue, apple green, and mauve—monochromatic palettes with pops of colour. Ornamental grasses and topiaries are less popular these days, but Orchard sees consistent demand for shrubs like boxwood and silver mound. These are great on the edge of a garden where you need a visual perimeter, he says (but forget planters on either side of the driveway—there are better places to create a focal point). “People love texture, and they’re very adamant that they want both spring bloomers and summer bloomers. They want to really enjoy their properties [all year long].” Orchard shares that foxgloves and delphiniums are popular because they can thrive in windy areas and draw in beautiful songbirds. looklocalmagazine.com

ACCENT WITH ANNUALS

Annuals are flowers that only bloom for one season—think geraniums, petunias, marigolds, and zinnias. “Most annuals are not cold tolerant, so you can’t plant them until after the last frost,” Polman cautions, noting that the Victoria Day long weekend is a good time to get started. “A lot of people put annuals in pots because they’re great in limited space. In the garden, put them anywhere you need a focal spot or some curb appeal.” Annuals tend to be colourful and bloom longer than perennials.

Look Local Volume 5 | Issue 3

“People also want edible plants, herbs and sprouts, and are planting combinations of vegetables with flowers,” Orchard says. Polman agrees, suggesting that homeowners plant vegetables and annuals together for a space that produces food but still displays as a beautiful floral garden. Valerie Kristjanson of Connon Nurseries suggests “annuals and perennials both play important roles in garden design. Perennials provide a succession of bloom throughout the season and add structure to the planting, returning season after season. Many perennials can be divided over time, producing more plants, and providing a great way to share a love of plants with others! Popular choices include many of the varieties that attract pollinators to the garden; coneflowers, bee balm, perennial salvia, lavender, yarrow and penstemon. Low maintenance perennials such as ornamental grasses, daylilies, hostas, and sedum round out the favourites.”

CONSIDER MAINTENANCE

Walking through a garden centre, it’s easy to be drawn to what’s aesthetically pleasing—but don’t forget to look into how much care each plant needs. Weeding, watering, and otherwise tending to plants can be incredibly time-consuming, especially in a larger garden. In addition to flowers, consider adding trees or shrubs to your outdoor space. It may take some time for them to reach full-size, but it’s often worth the wait. Not only do trees and shrubs provide great visual interest with hardly any upkeep, but they may also offer shade and privacy. And if you add a gorgeous flowering tree like an eastern redbud, cherry blossoms, magnolia, or lilac? The results are stunning. barrie@looklocalmagazine.com

Look Local Volume 5 | Issue 3

MAKE ANY SPACE YOUR OWN

An outdoor space should be your haven, whether it’s a small patio, a spacious backyard or a few acres surrounding your cottage. Think about how you want to use the space, how much time (and energy!) you have for maintenance, and what you want the aesthetic to be. Then, make a list of extras and determine what fits into your budget. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to create outdoor living spaces with stylish patio furniture, food preparation areas, or fire pits, but you don’t have to stop there. Consider a relaxing water element, a gazebo or some hardscaping, shade and lighting elements, or even a pizza oven. “More and more, we’re seeing people bring the indoors outdoors,” Polman explains, noting that a wide range of outdoor seating, cooking and decor products are available. And at the end of the day? Homeowners want an outdoor area that does it all. “People want a low maintenance space they can get a lot out of,” Polman says. “They don’t just want beauty—they want practicality, cost-efficiency, and enjoyment.” LL

FIESTA FUN CELEBRATING CINCO DE MAYO by ERIN MONTGOMERY

Look Local Volume 5 | Issue 3

inco de Mayo is just around the corner, and it's time to start planning your party! But for those wondering what Cinco de Mayo means and why we celebrate it – there's more than scratches the surface.

Contrary to popular belief Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May is not Mexican Independence Day. Instead, it is the celebration of a single battle, namely the Battle of Puebla which occurred for a single day on May 5th, 1862. The battle against the French did not win the Franco-Mexican War led by Napoleon III, but was a symbolic victory for the Mexicans and emboldened the resistance movement against the French. Cinco de Mayo is sometimes still known as Battle of Puebla Day and is actually a fairly minor holiday in Mexico. But in the rest of North America, it has grown into a celebration of Mexican cultural heritage, especially with the Mexican ex-pat populations.

Our little shop is dedicated to artisanal cheeses and handcrafted goods. Come on in and discover the amazing cheeses that Ontario and Quebec have to offer plus handcrafted works from local vendors and small batch producers.

What is often missed in North America are the more traditional foods of Mexico. In fact, Mexican cuisine (along with French) has made the UNESCO representative list for the Intangible Cultural Heritage, a fact that many countries are challenging based on their own national pride of their dishes. It remains that Mexican food is the first ethnic cuisine to be recognized on this list.

PACO'S TACOS

Look Local Volume 5 | Issue 3

THE MEXICAN HOUSE

Mexican food is not all about margaritas, or refried beans with Cheez Whiz, or jalapenos. Hard-shell tacos with lettuce and cheddar, although delicious, are not traditional either. With restrictions lifting and travel opening up, you could hop on a plane and head south to explore the flavours of Mexico. But if you're not quite there yet there are several authentic Mexican restaurants right here in our Region! Located on the port at 50 Centennial Drive in Orillia, you'll find local favourite Paco's Tacos. Renowned for its authentic Mexican food and its location (in the refurbished Island Princess boat), this spot is one-of-akind in the Region. Docked at the port year-round, Paco's Tacos is the place to go for...well, tacos! Their vibe is food truck food meets roof-top waterfront restaurant. If tacos make you weak in the knees, you'll want to eat your way through their menu.
