A Frosty Garden, Dahlias & Tea, Kimchi and Unboxing Silk Road Tea Set

In today’s Vlog, there’s a few tidbits from the garden in October. Lots of dahlias now flourish in the garden so I keep taking some of them home. There are different cultivars of dahlias, all of them very pretty. Chrysanthemums are blooming abundantly so I harvested some for tea. The second hand thrift shop also had Japanese inspired vases that I bought with pleasure. They were gracing the table along with the dahlias. Then the final highlight of the occasion is unboxing a new tea set called “Silk Road Collection.” It’s like opening gifts! The tea set were shipped in instalment so I have been receiving box upon box. That prolonged the excitement. The dining table is full of beautiful chinoiserie, much to my delight.

Thank you for coming to learn and garden with me. I hope you enjoy yourself. My name is Maiah, an amateur gardener. My little garden is located in the North (New Brunswick Canada). Our summers are very short (100-110 days a year) and the temperatures can go down to minus 20 (even -30) degrees Celsius in the winter. The fleeting time makes every moment in the garden special. This vlog is meant to collect those delightful moments in the garden as keepsakes and remembrances of lessons learned. Thank you for gardening with me, I hope you enjoy yourself. Happy gardening!
