This year marks the 35^th anniversary of the Harrison Festival of the Arts! Always a great time, this fantastic 9 day event runs from July 6 – 14, and is packed with music, visual arts and crafts from all corners of the globe, as well as a special children’s day on July 10^th!

Speaking of children, confirmed for this year is the ever popular children’s entertainer Fred Penner! He is the feature performer for Children’s Day, and will also be doing a mid-week beach front performance.

What makes this festival so special is the number of quality artists in a variety of genres including blues, roots, folk, Latin, and rock. There are beach front performances, as well as full length performances at the Harrison Memorial Hall, art exhibits and workshops too! With so much activity, there really is something for everyone at the Harrison Festival of the Arts.

Full festival details will be released in April, so stay tuned for more information! Be sure to book well in advance for these dates, as the Festival is always a popular time to stay here at South Garden.

We have recently started pinning here at South Garden. Our boards so far include travel, breakfast and gardening inspirations, as well as local sights, attractions, and destinations! We hope that we can inspire and intrigue you, and to help you discover wonderful new things! The Harrison area is full of beautiful things worthy of sharing. We hope you enjoy!

South Garden Bed and Breakfast continues to grow and add for the enjoyment and comfort of our guests.  Our newest addition is a beautiful cedar gazebo.  Not only does it keep us all cool in the sun and dry in the rain, the gazebo is softly lit and radiantly heated if need be.  Imagine the ambiance of a hot chocolate, rain, snow or sunshine, nestled in comfy chairs under the roof of the gazebo.  Welcome to South Garden.

 

Last June our kids came home for the weekend to help their dad put up the Gazebo.  This was their Father’s Day gift for him.  Check out the assembly video for just a little peek into the working weekend.  We had a blast.  Thank you all for your great help.

   The Canadian Hazelnut Farm offers a wide, scrumptiously delicious  choice of every kind of Hazelnut you could imagine:  sweet and sour, salty, chocolate coated, spicy, and more.  I spent a little time there this morning taking some pictures, but really we have to be there to pick up on the awesome creativity displayed.  Tantalize your taste buds.

South Garden B&B offers the Canadian Hazelnut delectables to our guests in special spa packages.

  Last Saturday, John and I drove out to Manning Park searching for Cambie Creek, a x-country ski trail.  Just an hour from South Garden Bed and Breakfast, down Hwy 3 we happened upon the awesome spot.  The skies were blue, the sun was shining, the snow was 6 ft deep and a pristine white.  We doned our skis, gliding along, getting great exercise and fresh air.  After a few falls, with soft landings, we had lots of good laughs.  The beauty was appreciated, with an added bonus being able to ski without cost.   Had a great day.

    Welcome to the Bridal Falls Waterpark, formerly known as the Trans-Canada WaterSlides!

Enjoy hours of entertainment and fun!  Just a 10 minute drive from South Garden Bed and Breakfast.
