They gave me a quote and stated that after the May long weekend they would start tending to it. May went by and the owner Derek met me on May 30 to review the work and someone from their company was supposed to come that week to start weeding etc. As of today I cancelled the Ground Guys. I got tired of as I being told "someone was coming" (no show) then getting the same excuse, "well we are very busy" If you are that busy please be honest and let people know you can't do it.

I love the selection of herbs, plants, grasses, and groovy gift items. SGH specializes in seeds and herbs, and the plants I've purchased have always been in the best condition I've seen from a nursery. Also, the service from Dave (owner) and the staff is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly. In fact, a few years back I I tried to take my outdoor peppermint, lavender, and rosemary in for the winter. I don't have south facing windows and so have very limited sunlight in the winter months. Dave gave me excellent advice (and support!) which helped me keep these cherished plants alive in time for replanting. Also, the location couldn't be prettier. Just when you think you've missed it, keep driving. It's nestled to the left on St. Mary's Road (if you're driving south).

I like to support mom and pop-type businesses like China Garden but the restaurant looked like it fell onto the earth from a time capsule from the 1970s. The washroom's musty-moldy smell accompanied paper rolls perched precariously on top of the empty dispenser. One faucet sink didn't work. And elderly lady customer was arranging her hair obsessively in the dim light and I expected her to take out a knife from her aged leather purse while I was in the stall. The inside of the dining area was beigey like an elementary school library set up with tables for Parent Teacher Night. The front staff were nice but not effusive, and the customers are mostly locals who like predictable fare. I ordered the combo and the chicken flew in my mouth and back out, it was so dry and gummy. The sauce was good but soaked the rice into an oily-sweet mash. The egg roll looked like a lumpy pillow stuffed with bean sprouts then beaten with a broomstick. They did not include any cutlery in my take-out so if I had not had any cutlery at work, I would have been crushing my face into the take-out container like a golden retriever enjoying a Friday night canned-food treat. The broccoli was the best part of the combo and definitely preferable to the chicken. I would give the entire meal a C- (with C being mediocre to average, like George W. Bush's grades at Yale). If there were a Chinese food equivalent of a peeling plaster hallway in an abandoned orphanage from the Cold War era, this would be it. The staff look like they're doing their best but you can't really stick a flower in a baseball cap and call it an Easter bonnet. I wish it could have been better.

The WAG was on my list to visit for years. I finally made it happen by driving the long drive from…read morethe US. Was it worth it? Oh, yeah! I geek out on Inuit sculpture and this museum has a treasure trove. The lobby of the modern white addition to this museum has a multi-story wavy glass vitrine filled with Inuit pieces. It's a delicious appetizer so I eagerly went up the stairway and into a massive gallery with rows of Inuit pieces, I felt like I was 5 years old and wanted to jump up and down. Every piece is beautifully displayed and illuminated in a white-walled room that, despite having no windows, is perfectly lighted. Art appreciation is so much easier and pleasant in a room like this. This 'Art by Inuit' exhibition is a survey from approximately 200 BCE to present day. It includes typical hunting and domestic scenes of which Inuit art is most well known. There are also many works that explore the human psyche. For me, this is the humble and sincere strength of Inuit art that can grab the viewer. The small exhibition titled 'Gasoline Rainbows' features the work of Tarralik Duffy. Her leather gas cans find the sculptural beauty in the everyday world. Her Spam-container-looking leather sculpture called 'Klik' is a biting reminder of how western foods replaced the traditional foods of these northern communities. There's more to the WAG in their ultra-cool Brutalist building. A surprising gallery of European Old Masters is one of the better small collections in Canada. Another gallery has Impressionist and mid-20th century paintings. (The harsh lighting in these galleries could use the magic touch from the Inuit galleries.) A cavernous exhibition featuring the meticulous works of Tim Gardner, an artist who I'm embarrassed to say that I'd never heard of, blew me away. That one person could churn out so many detailed paintings and watercolors seems impossible. His works include portraits, images of liquor bottles, hyper-realistic paintings copied from amateur photos, and images of Los Angeles so engaging that I felt as he had entered my mind and tagged along on bike rides through my old neighborhoods. The WAG is a joy, both architecturally and in the art on display. For dessert, the gift shop can't be missed. Several Canadian art museums do something that is more rare in the States: feature and sell compelling works by local and regional artists. This isn't the books, mass-produced art/souvenirs, and t-shirts often for sale in other museums. There is genuine one-of-a-kind art and shelves of superior quality artisan-created crafts for sale. It's like a little museum in itself. I happily walked out with an Inuit sculpture that could have been included in the exhibition upstairs.

When I was here, the galleries were full of flower arrangements inspired by the artworks they were…read morepresented with. I've never seen anything like it in a museum before and it was an interesting idea. I happened to show up during the opening for this event, so the gallery was pretty lively. While there are wall cards giving background on the curatorial direction and on individual pieces, I found they assumed a familiarity with Manitoba's history that I lacked. It was refreshing to see so many pieces of art by artists I'm unfamiliar with and to leave with a long list of things to look up later. It inspired me to pick up some books after my visit. That said, they also have a small, thoughtful selection of the sort of stuff you expect to see in an art museum in North America. So if you want to see representations of the standard European and Canadian art movements and pieces by familiar names, you'll find those, too.
