[编者按] 这是笔者第一次听说公园日(Guarden Days)，因为这是第一次，也就是这个周末！你会如何参与呢？请查看官网www.guardendays.ca，看看你家附件的哪个公园参与了这次活动，你可能发现这是一个有趣的阖家欢游。
Excitement is building as gardens, garden centres, horticultural societies, schools, churches and private gardens get ready to welcome the public to their Garden Days events this weekend – Friday, June 19th through to Sunday, June 21st.
Mark Cullen, national Garden Days spokesperson recently said, “While the physical activity of gardening makes for better living, the mere presence of gardens enhances Canadian lives everywhere. Our public and private gardens have long been among the country’s great assets and now, finally, they are being celebrated in a meaningful and purposeful way during Garden Days.”
