Under sunny skies, Art in the Garden 2009 showcased the work of 27 artists.  Traveling from across the province and the country, the artists ornamented Kiwi's lush spring gardens with their outdoor art.  On display were sculptures made of ceramic, steel, stone, and recycled materials.  Furniture made of wood, glass, and wrought iron was shown.  Copper, brass, and rusted metals were transformed into birdfeeders, obelisks, and rustic garden ornaments.  Hanging glass panels, rail and timber fencing, and water fountains added to the variety and uniqueness of the show.

Over the course of the weekend, hundreds of visitors took in Art in the Garden, delighting in the art, the entertainment, the weather, and the plants.  Moving from one artist to the next, visitors were treated to a show of Kiwi's richly landscaped grounds.  Whether drawn to the multi-coloured foliage of the hostas, the massive blooms of countless specimen peonies, or the dramatic clumps of vibrant red poppies, Kiwi's gardens garnered the attention of all guests.  Fully stocked with healthy, hardy, mature perennials, Kiwi's Retail Nursery offered potted plants for sale.  For each interested gardener, Kiwi's experienced staff answered questions and provided suggestions for both sun and shade gardening.  Carrying away art, plants, and inspiration, visitors to Art in the Garden surely weren't long seeing their own home gardens enhanced.
