Keppel Croft gardens are a little Paradise. Exotic and Native plants live side by side in the moderated climate beside the waters of Georgian Bay. The Loneys have tended this community jewel over the years, with their Green Thumbers, inspiring many others to garden in the most challenging of soils with plenty of old shoreline stones. They are natural gardening educators for the community, deserving of all the accolades given to them and their gardens.
Beautifully written, Nicole!! We have always loved Keppel Croft, Art in the Park, our yearly Kemble Church service there in July with a shared lunch to follow and various other activities we have attended. Big Bay is so fortunate to have Dawn and Bill who have made their dream the highlight of the area.
We have not met Bill or Dawn , but we sailed our 18 Whitehall out of Big Bay a few times and upon returning happened on Keppel Croft Had we drowned and gone to heaven?
So well described. Love your writing Nicole.
Thanks so much Jan, lovely to read!
The garden and the Loneys are local gems. We’re so fortunate.
Absolutely!
Beautiful story about a beautiful place. Nicely written

A good reminder to visit in the spring...it's been a few years for us!
