BURNABY NEW WESTMINSTER FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, [email protected] • 604-435-7977
Summer has come and gone and the kids are back to school. It also means the days are getting noticeably short-
er and generally cooler. As part of our 2015 Complete Home Maintenance Tasks Calendar, this month make the most of what is left of the warm weather, grab your garden gloves and start planting for next year’s spring garden.
“This is the perfect time of year to take stock of what worked in your garden this summer and what didn’t,” says Linda Rushlow, owner/horticulturist of Urban Patio Designs. “Maybe you’ve noticed that a plant hasn’t done as well as expected, whether it’s because of too little sun or too much sun. In either case, perhaps it is time to move it to a better spot in your garden.”
In addition, if you noticed your annu-als are looking a tad sad and droopy, pull them out.
“It doesn’t mean though that you still can’t have beautiful colour in your garden
or planters for a few weeks this fall and winter,” Rushlow says. “Asters are gor-geous fall plants that come in an array of colours such as purple, yellow and red. There are also mums, pansies and heather that last through much of the winter.”
This is also the best time of year to purchase your bulbs because at most gar-den centres the selection will be at its premium. However, Rushlow cautions not to plant too soon because the province has experienced an unusually hot summer this year.
“Typically, we could be starting to plant our bulbs during the fi rst two weeks of September, however, this year I’d advise not to do it until later in the month,” adds the horticulturist. “The soil is too warm right now and if you plant bulbs in soil that is too hot the fl owers will come up too soon.”
Having said that, when you plant depends largely on where you live in
BC. The ground will freeze faster in the Cariboo, for example, than it will in the Okanagan or the Lower Mainland.
“In Cache Creek you can probably plant your bulbs a couple of weeks earlier than in Vernon,” Rushlow adds. “Spring-blooming bulbs, cool-season vegetables, perennials, trees and shrubs can all be planted in the fall.”
The window for fall planting ends about six weeks before your area gets hit with a hard frost, usually late September or October (although it could be later this year because of our particularly warm sum-mer weather).
“I suggest you check with your garden centre to fi nd out what weather zone you are in so that you can more accurately know when to plant your spring bulbs,” she adds. “I remind my clients that all spring-blooming bulbs need a period of cold dormancy to bloom. So, by planting bulbs in the fall you can make sure you have a
beautiful spring display in your garden beds or planters.”
Rushlow’s Top Bulbs to Plant in FallIf you’re wondering what you can plant
in the fall, the answer is almost anything. Here are eight wonderful bulbs to put in the ground during the early fall.
1. Alliums2. Tulips3. Crocuses4. Daff odils 5. Winter aconite6. Grape hyacinth7. Snowdrops8. Siberian squills“If you have a problem with deers coming
into your backyard, the last fi ve on my list of bulbs are deer resistant,” Rushlow adds.

At the crossroads of Burnaby and Coquitlam, one of the largest and most respected developers in Western
Canada, Onni Group, is once again off ering a unique and exciting new project. Located on a quiet residential street in West Coquitlam across North Road from Lougheed Mall is where Onni will unveil Brookmere.
The stunning concrete and glass tower will be within walking distance to the soon to be revitalized Lougheed Town Centre core, while situated within a neighbourhood of parks and a green, landscaped environment.
Onni understands that today’s urban home buyers want to live within a short distance of rapid transit and that’s exactly what you get at Brookmere.
“We really are the gateway between Coquitlam and Burnaby, and we will be the fi rst development as you enter Coquitlam,” says Nic Jensen, Onni’s vice-president of sales. “Brookmere is located within a very short walk to the Lougheed Mall SkyTrain and the New Evergreen Line, which is expected to complete by the end of 2016.”
In addition, once the highly anticipated Lougheed Town Centre is completed it will be home to a great mix of residential and mixed use amenities, including fabulous restaurants, shops and a large plaza; all directly across the street.
Brookmere features a 28-storey tower with concierge service, and over 14,000
square feet of amenity space including two large outdoor terraces – this is truly turnkey living at its best! The tower will be home to 216 thoughtfully designed condominiums and three townhomes refl ecting the lifestyle needs of Vancouver’s discerning buyers.
Its open-concept one, two and three bedroom homes range in size from 515 to 1400 square feet. Each residence will showcase quality fi nishes such as contemporary wide plank laminate fl ooring throughout living areas, luxurious wool blend carpeting throughout bedrooms and walk-in closets, over height 8’-8” fl at painted ceilings, energy effi cient LED lighting in entryways and corridors, elegant spa-inspired bathrooms and very generous sized outdoor balconies and/or terraces.
In addition, each residence is beautifully
appointed with an exceptionally elegant kitchen — a chef’s dream. All are equipped with high-end KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, including a fi ve burner gas cooktop and convection wall oven, 1.5” composite stone countertops, European inspired, custom fl at panel soft close wood cabinetry, top-of-the-line cabinet hardware, and marble tile backsplash.
Then there is the private, exclusive
Brookmere Wellness Club. It showcases a landscaped 2nd fl oor terrace with BBQ area and exterior lounge, 3rd fl oor outdoor terrace with garden plots and children’s play area. Inside there is a fully-equipped fi tness centre with yoga studio, Media Room with built-in surround sound audio system and a guest suite for out-of-town visitors, to name just a few of its amenities.
Brookmere off ers the best of both worlds with urban and natural amenities within a short distance. For the outdoor enthusiast, you can walk out your front door and connect to a myriad of forested trails up to Burnaby Mountain and SFU.
Brookmere off ers a truly carefree, singular living experience in the up-and-coming West Coquitlam district. Starting in the mid-$200,000s, these beautifully appointed new homes are rare today. Preview of Brookmere is slated for Mid-October 2015. Register now for your opportunity to see what all the excitement is about. Don’t miss your opportunity to be a part of an emerging neighbourhood full of possibilities.
For more information, call 604-259-5991,
email [email protected] or visit www.
onni.com/brookmere. Occupancy is set for
fall 2018. After the grand opening, the
sales centre, located at 3355 North Road,
Coquitlam, will be open noon to 6 p.m.
every day except Fridays.
