EDITOR’S NOTE

THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION

HOME ADVANTAGE

MARLENE EISNER EDITOR New Home + Condo Guide EMAIL: marlene.eisner@nexthome.ca TWITTER: @MarleneEisner

There are some people who are hesitant to consider a pre-construction home. After all, it can be difficult to envision making such a large financial and emotional investment on a future home that is nothing more than a concept displayed on an architectural rendering or a miniature model. We understand. However, if you are among the hesitant, there is one thing you may not realize. All pre-construction homes in British Columbia built by a licensed residential builder must be covered by third-party home warranty insurance. What does this mean for you, the homebuyer?

As one of the strongest construction defect insurance coverages in Canada, B.C.’s 2-5-10 warranty covers a variety of defects that can occur during the second, fifth and 10th year after construction, protecting you and your investment. For example, the building’s structure, appliances and overall craftsmanship are covered should repairs be needed. To get the full story, turn to page 28. Our industry expert, Brittany Reimer from MLA Canada, explains how it works and what you can expect. Perhaps it will put your fears at ease when you are considering a pre-sale home.

And if you are on track to finding a new home or condo but are overwhelmed or confused by the hot Metro Van market, the Homebuilders Association Vancouver (HAVAN) team has put together a free online video resource of industry experts sharing their best practices and experiences. Turn to page 32 to find out all the details.

As always, this issue is packed with other great articles to help you find, purchase and decorate your new home. We hope you enjoy what you see. Let us know what you think. We’d love to hear from you.

DID YOU KNOW?

Translink unveiled the first set of 10-year priorities under the Transport 2050 strategy. The vision includes extending the SkyTrain Millennium line to UBC and building a gondola to SFU plus the creation of nine bus rapid transit lines throughout the region.

New arts centre planned for Mount Pleasant Plans are underway for a 12-storey mass timber office tower at the intersection of Quebec Street and East 6th Avenue in Vancouver, a short walk from the future Mount Pleasant SkyTrain Station. But locals are thrilled that the 1929, two-storey SFU Annex currently located on site will be moved to the property’s eastern edge and restored as a city-owned arts centre and community gathering space. The tower will also include four levels of underground parking plus secured bike parking. Stay tuned for more details as they’re revealed.

Celebrating the best of the best

Latimer Village by Vesta Properties continues to be a strong contender in all awards.

It’s that time of year to celebrate the best of our dynamic residential construction industry. The 2022 season kicks off on April 30 with the HAVAN Awards for Housing Excellence, honouring projects located in Metro Vancouver (havan. ca/awards).

Next up are the 50th UDI Awards for Excellence on May 11, followed two days later by the CHBA National Awards for Housing Excellence on May 13 (chba.ca/housingawards).

And finally, on June 4, the provincial CHBA-BC Georgie Awards are also celebrating a decade milestone — 30 years bringing you the best of B.C. (georgieawards.ca). All galas except the Nationals will return to an inperson format this year.

Watch for full coverage of these events in upcoming issues. nexthome.ca

The QE Collection

COVER STORY

DAHLIA ABOVE IT ALL It’s said that good things come to those who wait, and now the wait is over at The QE Collection. Dahlia, the final townhome community in this dazzling trio, is about to commence sales.

Perfectly situated at the peak of the ridge along Cambie Corridor and surrounded by built-out townhomes, these 46 residences will enjoy unobstructed, forever views of the North Shore mountains and downtown Vancouver.

It’s the perfect combination of urban convenience and proximity to nature.

DESIGNED FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE

A celebration of community, Dahlia townhomes are thoughtfully designed with Sightline’s meticulous attention to detail—and some creative innovations you’re sure to love.

Whether you opt for a traditional fourbedroom or a three-bedroom designed to 16

New Home + Condo Guide | April 30–May 14, 2022

replicate the feel of a single-family residence, your home includes a 100-sq.-ft. Wellness Zone located on the lower level right where you enter from your secure underground parking. This private stay-fit area includes a NordicTrack spin bike and The Vault, a combination free weights and storage cabinet with embedded iFit monitor for accessing thousands of NordicTrack workout programs.

So how cool is that?

Four-bedroom homes also feature a private rooftop deck with outdoor kitchen that comes standard. These natural retreats have direct access from inside—no walking through the top floor primary suite—and are pre-wired and engineered to be hot tub ready. In short, it’s an ideal spot to relax and unwind at the end of the day in every season.

Ever mindful of environmental stewardship, each Dahlia home has its own heat pump, and

every parking stall is pre-wired for an EV charging station.

And here’s something that’s capturing people’s attention. “Not only are our strata fees lower than other homes along the Cambie Corridor, but our standard specifications are much higher,” says Chris Scully, sales director with KEY Marketing.

YOUR HOME, YOUR WAY

With 50 years of construction experience, Sightline Properties is committed to building more than just homes. It builds strong communities that enhance the character of the surrounding neighbourhood and creates unique living spaces for the people who live there.

“These aren’t cookie-cutter homes,” Scully explains. “The developer really listens to what their buyers love about their home and then expands on those features.

No one does townhomes as well as Sightline… period. And because there are so many colour choices for kitchens and bathrooms, no two are exactly alike. So, if in the future, you do decide to sell, your home will stand out as one-of-a-kind.”

The Dahlia presentation centre and display suite open in early May at 479 West 16th Avenue (at Cambie). Check out theQEcollection.com or call 604.734.8883 for more information. nexthome.ca

South Cambie’s borders include Elizabeth Park to the east and the tonier Shaughnessy on the west. It is located between the busy northsouth corridors of Oak and Cambie streets and stretches from West 16th Avenue in the north to West 41st in the south.

THE VIBE

South Cambie might be one of the smallest of Vancouver’s neighbourhoods but it’s got panache!

Favourite hangouts run the gamut, whether it’s enjoying nature’s best, a fashionista’s dream or anything in between, South Cambie is emerging proud and strong after years of growing pains (think Canada Line nightmares)! In the southernmost part you have a beautiful boulevard with oversized trees known as Cambie Heritage Boulevard, and there’s

For beer afficiados, this is Mecca. Biercraft has a huge selection of specialty and craft beer from around the globe.

IN THE AREA

Besides its crown jewels, Queen Elizabeth Park and Nat Bailey, South Cambie is renowned for its topnotch hospitals, great educational institutions, the posh Oakridge Shopping Centre, and let’s not forget great ethnic eateries, funky watering holes and distinctive boutique shops.

PLANEs, TRAINs AND AUTOMOBILEs

The much-anticipated completion of the $2-billion Canada Line dramatically transformed the neighbourhood and has gotten residents out of their cars, while making it easy to get to YVR. Cyclists rule in Vancouver and the city has made it a priority to create many dedicated bike lanes.

DOLLARs & sENsE

Increased density and transit access contributed to a shift in house prices, with homes tripling in price.

Getting into this neighbourhood is not cheap but now that the city is approving a number of condo projects, it will make living here slightly more affordable!

INDUSTRY NEWS | TRANSIT

THE FUTURE OF TRANSIT AND RIDERSHIP IN METRO VAN

BY SUSAN M BOYCE

TransLink’s new CEO, Kevin Quinn.

The message TransLink’s new CEO, Kevin Quinn, sent out loud and clear to members of the Urban Development Institute (UDI) on April 20 was that it’s time for a change.

Quinn, who is poised, calm, and possesses a gentle sense of humour, stepped into his CEO position last summer when ridership was plummeting at a previously unimaginable rate. But despite unprecedented, pandemic-driven challenges, he noted that unlike most jurisdictions across North America, Metro Vancouver’s ridership has rebounded to 71 percent of preCOVID numbers — some 300,000 people per day — thanks in large part to Metro Van’s focus on coordinated regional planning and consumers’ above-average transit literacy.

Not surprisingly, Quinn says he believes the Broadway Millennium Line Extension will be “an absolute game-changer.” Current predictions suggest daily ridership on this single route will reach up to 163,000 by 2030, a number anticipated to expand 20 New Home + Condo Guide | April 30–May 14, 2022

to as much as 191,000 by 2045.

Fundamental to the region’s bold Transport 2050 plan, Quinn expects 300 kilometres of rapid transit routes will be added over the next 30 years.

Looking at just the first decade, he says consumers can expect to see more than 150 new rapid transit lines, a doubling of the regional bus service levels, and 450 kilometres of new, traffic-separated bicycle lanes plus 200 new bike lockers and six new bike parkades.

But he also said we need a different approach to dealing with climate change and increasing traffic congestion, citing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) as a solution. To be clear, he stressed BRT is not a Rapid Bus nor a SkyTrain alternative.

BRT’s three distinguishing traits are dedicated, single-priority lanes with integrated technology to enhance unimpeded travel; level boarding stations with prepayment (like current SkyTrain/SeaBus routes); and comfortable, spacious compartments.

Pioneered in Bogota, Colombia,

BRT’s economic logistics are nothing short of astonishing. Every kilometre of BRT routing cost approximately $15 million compared to a whopping $400 million per kilometre for SkyTrain. It’s almost six times faster to build — 13 kilometres per year versus SkyTrain’s 2.3 kilometres per year. And it’s been proven to spur economic development. In Cleveland, Ohio, it created more than $10 billion in real estate investment and within just four years of opening, surrounding property values skyrocketed 30-100 percent.

In closing, Quinn noted that we need to change how we define a successful transit system. Ridership numbers can no longer be the sole matrix. Today we need to find ways of enhancing the customer experience — a challenge he’s clearly delighted to accept.

BEST PRACTICE DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR TRANSITORIENTED COMMUNITIES OF THE FUTURE:

• Destination: coordinate land use • Distance: well-coordinated streets networks • Design: spaces designed for people • Density: expand housing options, including rentals, around transit stations • Diversity: create a dynamic multi-purpose community around transit hubs • Demand management: increase frequency and accessibly to enhance the ability to live, work and play in one community and reduce reliance on cars.

AVOID THESE MISTAKES WHEN BUYING AN INVESTMENT PROPERTY

ALISA ARAGON-LLOYD

Owning an investment property can be a great way to create financial security for you and your family.

Buying a condo, townhome, house 22

New Home + Condo Guide | April 30–May 14, 2022

or small multi-unit building has many advantages, including monthly rental income, property value appreciation, tax deductions and the ability to use the bank’s money to make more money for yourself.

However, to invest in a property, it’s best to do so with your eyes wide open. Here are some potentially expensive mistakes to avoid:

• Treating the property purely as an investment and not as a business Owning an investment property is like owning a business. People think the only thing they have to do is buy it, rent it and forget it. Decisions will need to be made from time to time regarding maintenance and upgrades, rent reviews, new leases, and more. Even if you hire a property

such as property taxes and strata fees, if applicable.

• Working with a buyer’s agent Work with a trusted real estate agent that has experience and knowledge on buying investment properties. Buying an investment property is about numbers, while buying your own home is about an emotional purchase.

• Buying a property sight unseen This could be a recipe for disaster, unless you do a site inspection yourself or have a real estate agent who knows exactly what you want.

This is a big investment; surely you can take the time to inspect it.

• Not checking out the property adequately Having the property professionally inspected can help avoid unexpected expenses. There are many potential problems with any home that you are not likely to pick up on yourself.

manager that will do the work, they can only do what is instructed.

• Not having enough funds to cover unexpected expenses What if your property sits vacant for a few months? Will you have enough to cover your mortgage payments?

What if you suddenly need a new roof or furnace? It’s wise, if possible, to keep an emergency fund of about 10 percent of the value of the property to carry you through the tough times.

• Unwittingly breaking a law Before you buy, do some research.

Make sure you understand landlord laws, your responsibilities and liabilities, and the ins and outs of leases.

• Not having a proper and efficient maintenance schedule in place All properties, their fixtures and fittings wear out! Damage does occur.

It is important to keep maintenance up and have it done on time.

• Getting pre-approved Talk to a mortgage expert before you start your search so you know how much you can qualify for, and you know what you are going to require.

• Expecting too much If you expect to get rich quick, you may be tempted to set the rent too high and lose your tenants.

Research comparable properties and be reasonable.

• Not factoring in running costs The price of the home is only the first of a series of home-ownership expenses. Before you rush off to buy, consider some of the costs,

• Becoming a slave to the property Decide how much your time means to you. If your investment property becomes a second full

time job, is it worth it? Factor in the cost of a property management company, if necessary.

• Not adequately checking out tenants Ask for references (especially their past landlords) and follow them up.

Run credit checks. If applicable, drive by the prospect’s current property and see how well it’s cared for.

• Not doing regular (at least annually) financial analysis Remember, this is a business. All business owners regularly review their financials. Your property manager should provide you with monthly and annual statements of receipts and expenditures. Consider doing an annual market appraisal to see how the value of the property is going.

Sometimes it is strategic to sell off some assets and purchase new ones.

One way to help things go smoothly is to join your local landlord association. These groups can update you on laws, supply sample lease agreements, recommend suppliers, and more.

These mistakes to avoid are not intended to discourage you from buying an investment property but to assist you to proceed with open eyes and know what you are getting into.

Buying an investment property means work, but it is a great way to create wealth and financial security for you and your family.

If you would like some help to analyze your financial ability to invest in an investment property, talk to a professional mortgage expert.

PROPTECH OPTIMIZES REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS REAL ESTATE AND TECHNOLOGY UNITE

TIM NG

The popularity of an innovative new approach to real estate is taking over the industry. In an effort to make researching, buying, renting, selling and managing property easier to navigate, information technology has been combined with platform economics. PropTech (property technology) is the newest application that has been designed as a complete overhaul for the real estate market.

Every year introduces new opportunities and better ways of doing things. While the pandemic altered procedures in many facets of our lives, it was also a time of discovery that ultimately led to the restructuring of standard business practices. If there was ever a period of time to revisit the real estate market, and to assess how it could be modernized for a better, overall experience – the time is now.

THE BENEFITS OF PROPTECH

• More transparency to track the history of a property • Improved communication • Collect and analyze data on a real estate project • Value-added market outlook • Environmental and social improvements • Enhanced promotion of a property • Increased innovation = an informed decision

24

New Home + Condo Guide | April 30–May 14, 2022

The marriage of real estate and technology will help to make real estate dealings more efficient and more secure. While it may sound like we’re digitizing real estate, we all know that there’s so much more that goes on behind the scenes.

Previously, real estate companies had many outdated procedures that weren’t satisfying the needs of the consumers, or their best interests.

With PropTech, important concerns are finally being addressed, and it’s solving some the biggest challenges in the real estate market. PropTech uses modern technology to improve manual processes, which are often laden with red tape and reams of paperwork.

From property searches and building management, to transactions and customer experiences, PropTech is designed to simplify actions at every stage of the property buying process to ultimately benefit all of those involved.

Real estate agents can now give their full attention to quality customer engagement. Real estate developers and property management teams will have more free time to boost their business productivity and their bottom line. And, homeowners and renters can achieve their property goals faster and in a more cost-effective manner.

The industry is being transformed with the ability to manage and centralize legal documents. In addition, powerful Chatbots (online chat applications) help to improve communication on all levels. The customer data, which is required for all transactions, can now be tracked

and managed by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning.

THE FUTURE

PropTech is taking over the real estate market in ways that were difficult to imagine a few years ago. Over the next three to five years, real estate companies will be overhauling at least 75 per cent of their practices and procedures with the use of technology. They won’t have a choice if they want to stay competitive.

PropTech is showing significant growth with ongoing investments and tech start-ups.

With the adoption of new technologies, PropTech is strengthening connections between landlords, property teams, tenants and real estate agents. Just as technology helps consumers to optimize, and enhance, their everyday lives (Siri and Alexa, for example), it will do the same for the real estate industry and its end-users.

Buying, renting, selling and managing property has never been easier.

PropTech continues to streamline the experience by making it more automated and user-friendly.

ADVICE LOREM || INDUSTRY IPSUM IF NEEDED EXPERT

PRE-SALE HOME WARRANTIES WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

BRITTANY REIMER

Just as each homebuyer should have a thorough understanding of their mortgage and home insurance, so too should they know how the warranty for their pre-sale home purchase functions. In British Columbia, any new home built by a licensed residential builder must be covered by third-party home warranty insurance. Those purchasing homes in B.C. should feel protected, as this province is home to one of the strongest construction defect insurance coverages in Canada.

28

New Home + Condo Guide | April 30–May 14, 2022

Despite its name, warranty insurance is not the same as home insurance. Where home insurance is purchased by the homeowner to protect against issues such as theft and fire, warranty insurance is purchased by the builder to protect the homebuyers from any construction issues. Home warranty insurance is mandatory and provides consumer protection for new homebuyers. It can only be provided by insurance companies that are approved to meet the requirements of the Homeowner Protection Act. Standards of coverage, commencement dates and exclusions are all set by the government under the same Act. In B.C. the warranty is often referred to as the 2-5-10 Warranty.

HOW PRE-SALE HOMEBUYERS ARE PROTECTED

Every pre-sale home sold in B.C. is protected by the 2-5-10 warranty and supports the homebuyer in reducing costs and concerns around their new home. Structure, appliances and craftmanship are covered should any repairs be required. This is unique to pre-sale and new homes, as a re-sale home purchase would not benefit from the same mandated warranties.

For strata buildings, coverage on both individual units and common property begins at the earlier dates of either first unit occupancy or the date of the legal title to the first owner.

THE 2-5-10 STRUCTURE

The 2-5-10 name comes from the warranty’s mandated minimum

timeframe breakdown for different protected components: • 2 years: the warranty period for labour- and materials-related defects or issues • 5 years: the warranty coverage for the building envelope, including water penetration • 10 years: the warranty period for the general structure of the building The two-year labour and materials coverage protects against any issues in labour and materials for 15 months on the common strata property and 24 months for defects. This includes components such as delivery and distribution systems; exterior cladding, caulking, windows or doors that may lead to detachment or material damage to the new home; violations of the Building Code that constitute a health or safety risk; and defects that render the home unfit

to live in. In this case, the building envelope refers to the outside or skin of the building, where as the structure of the building refers to the ‘bones ‘ of a building or the functional structural components.

UNDERSTANDING THE WARRANTY INSURANCE ON YOUR PRE-SALE HOME

If you’re looking to learn a little bit more about the protection that the home warranty insurance offers, visit the presentation centre of your pre-sale home and ask the sales representatives to take you through the specifics for your development.

While the minimum requirements are set, some new homes have coverage that goes beyond the minimum ,for extra peace of mind. In order to be completely comfortable, it is always helpful to ask your realtor to double check the information with which

you were provided so that you can fully understand the opportunities provided by the warranty.

When purchasing pre-sale, it’s good to know that any applicable costs incurred in the mandated timeframes will not come out of our own pocket. This helps to budget for the first 10 years of home ownership and provides the peace of mind that comes with financial protection.

ADVICE | HAVAN REPORT

MASTERING THE HOMEBUYING MARKET

RON RAPP

The two questions I am regularly asked since the pandemic are where the housing market is headed, and if now is the right time to buy.

There are certainly some challenges these days if you are looking to purchase a home in Metro Vancouver. Demand for housing continues to surpass the supply of housing stock, and until a closer balance is achieved, Metro Vancouver will continue to be a seller’s market Housing supply is a complicated issue, and one that will not be solved overnight, even with the intervention 32

New Home + Condo Guide | April 30–May 14, 2022

of governments at all levels to address the challenges.

Housing inventory continues to lag behind demand and will do so for the foreseeable future as the industry faces serious labour shortages and challenges with material supplies due to the global impact of the pandemic. Delays, and “red tape” at the municipal level with zoning,

approvals and permits complicate delivery of new housing stock, and on the resale side, with the uncertainties in the marketplace and recent double digit increases in property values, many owners are electing to hold on to their homes, further exacerbating the supply-side issue. Add in Canada’s plan to ramp up needed immigration to mitigate the labour shortages and

this exerts even more pressure on the housing market.

The Bank of Canada is raising the prime interest rate to control a sharply rising inflation rate, driving up the cost of borrowing and adding to the pressure on first-time buyers looking to get into the market before further increases are realized. The prime rate has already bumped up .75 percent since January with another .75 percent increase anticipated before the end of 2022.

As a first-time buyer, it might appear too daunting and too complicated to purchase a home in Metro Vancouver, however, looking back over the past 20 years, the overall risk has been offset by the gains, and buying a home is still one of the best investments one can make.

First-time buyers need to know if the risk-to-reward ratio is right for their personal circumstances. By increasing one’s awareness of the market and buying strategies, the perceived challenges will begin to become more manageable.

Having worked in development and the housing industry for more than 40 years, I can safely say, doing your homework is essential when you are making one of the biggest investments in your life. Now you can learn from industry professionals with a personal approach through HAVAN’s Masterclass series, featuring six veterans of housing sharing their journey into homeownership with tips, market insights and their personal home-buying mistakes.

Empower yourself. Check out havan.ca/home-buying-masterclass/ to access this free video series.

Representing the home building industry in Metro Vancouver since 1974, the Homebuilders’ Association Vancouver (HAVAN), a not-for-profit society is proudly affiliated with the provincial and national Canadian Home Builders’ Associations.

Visit www.havan.ca Follow Ron @HAVANofficial or email ron@havan.ca

The HAVAN’s Masterclass series speakers Shayne Ramsay, B.C. Housing CEO, explores the benefits and challenges of buying versus renting to help decide if homeownership is the right choice for you.

Randy Chin from RBC shares how to find mortgage options for people who fall into those ‘grey areas’ – people new to the market and or self-employed.

Scott Brown, of Fifth Avenue Marketing, discusses his ‘10year window’ to help ease hesitations and fear of pre-sales.

Tony Gioventu, CEO of the Condominium Home Owners’ Association, notes if buying into a strata, your home is not quite your own, and shares key information and resources.

Taylor Biggar openly discusses his personal buying history from the age of 14, and the benefits of delayed gratification by living at home with mom and dad for a few more years.

Robyn Adamache from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., steeped in data research, advises you cannot time the market, and says timing is not the key to success.

The best seat IN THE HOUSE

A

by JENNIFER BACKSTEIN • photos STEPHANI BUCHMAN

good chair is like a good friend – it’s there to support and embrace you, to bring comfort and colour to your life. Dating back some 5,000 years, this essential piece of furniture has evolved from its predominantly utilitarian origins. Don’t get me wrong, it definitely still serves the very specific purpose of getting us off our feet, whether to rest or to help us focus on tasks. However, the chair has also become an expression of art and personal style, a decorating tool to define areas throughout the house, and how we live in our homes. While there are many different styles and options of chairs on the market, the defining feature of a good chair is one that balances esthetics, comfort and quality.

Here are some things to pay attention to.

#1 Function (and style) Before you can consider a chair’s esthetic attributes, you must first determine its functional requirements. Will you be sitting for short or extended periods of time? Will you 38

New Home + Condo Guide | April 30–May 14, 2022

be engaged in any activities while seated? In terms of the space you’re placing it, is it casual or formal in nature? How many people do you need to seat? Is it a high-traffic area, exposed to wear and tear?

Consider the style of seating that will best meet those needs. Your seating options run the gamut from chairs, loveseats, sofas and sectionals, to less conventional pieces such as stools and ottomans. What about upholstery? With a back or armrests? What about the depth and angle of the seat?

TIP: Ottomans and cubes are very versatile and are a great option for extra seating or surfaces in a pinch. Pushed up to a coffee table or beside the fireplace, an ottoman makes a great seat.

#2 Construction (and price) When shopping for seating, you’ll undoubtedly come across a wide range of products and price points. Generally, you get what you pay for and quality (think comfort and durability) is often reflected in a higher price. What’s behind

that price difference? The joinery; the construction of the seat and whether it’s coil or web, down or foam; the quality of upholstery – these all factor into the price.

#3 Measure (and measure again) You know what they say – measure twice, buy once. When buying any big-ticket items for your home, don’t rely on the “eyeball” method for measurements. This is especially important given the reality of supply chain issues and the resulting delays on delivery. Ensure the pieces you’re buying will fit your space – and through the doorways, hallways, and if you live in a condo, the elevator!

Having a floorplan in hand can also be extremely helpful when shopping for large-scale seating, such as a sofa or sectional. This will give you a view of the piece, and its scale in relation to the rest of the space, and how it may impact the natural flow of traffic and sight lines to windows and other focal points, TIP: When planning your space, keep in mind the area required around your furnishings. In the living room, I like to leave 18 inches between the sofa and coffee table, and about 36 inches between armchairs, sofa and loveseat. If your seating is for watching television, I recommend a gap of approximately seven feet.

As you can see, a lot goes into choosing just the right seating for your space and your… rear end. Do your research, make a list, and discuss your options with a qualified designer who knows what works and can bring some new ideas to the table – or in this case, the chair!

GARDENS A LINK TO NATURE

mArk And ben cullen

Over the years, we have read about gardening, met and talked with a lot of Canadian gardeners, accumulated years of toil in our own gardens, and this is the conclusion that we have come to regarding the gardening experience: The purpose of a garden is to link us to the natural world around us.

In the microcosm of our personal space, we each see our yard, balcony and garden as something different.

Your definition of that space may be a place to entertain, relax or escape, and you would be right. But, stand 42

New Home + Condo Guide | April 30–May 14, 2022

back from your own personal needs and wants, and you’ll realize what makes the outdoor space around your home different from your indoor space – it’s not yours at all.

Consider the birds, insects and wind that pass through your yard daily. Each holds a free pass to use your place to feed, live, reproduce and, in the case of the wind itself, to just pass by.

What is so exciting about the world of gardening today is the growing realization that we don’t do it alone: Everything we do in our yards and gardens impacts the natural world around us.

Food webs

While we live in a world based on the obvious – what our five senses pick up from day to day, season to season – there is a lot more going

on in our yard than we realize. Take our reference to the food chain, for instance. This linear illustration of how we function within the rules of Mother Nature is an oversimplification of how things really work out there.

Ecologists talk about food webs, not chains.

If we can offer just one thought that might change your vision of what a garden is, let it be this: Gardeners provide an impact that is changing the world. To stand at your kitchen window and gaze at what is there with a view to birds, flowers, a deck or barbecue, and to see nothing more is to rob yourself of the benefits of reality. In the garden, we often see things two-dimensionally. But we can change.

Let us illustrate with this one fact: In a single handful of quality garden

soil, there exists more than four billion interdependent living organisms.

Bacteria, fungi, protozoa, insects and a cocktail of other stuff work together to create a support system for the plants that grow in your garden. As a result of this complex system, we impact the natural world every time we dig a hole, pull a weed or place a bird feeder on our property.

ARe you doiNG youR pART?

If you agree that gardeners (and there are more than 20 million of us in Canada) have a vital role to play where ecological preservation and enhancement is concerned, then perhaps you will be interested in learning how each of us can do more to enhance that ecosystem.

HeRe ARe ouR suGGesTioNs:

1. Attract pollinators. Plants produce flowers to attract pollinators.

Exchanging pollen and nectar for sustenance ensures that both the plant and the pollinator have a future. a. Plant lots of flowering plants.

Use plants that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, songbirds and yes, even moths, certain types of wasps, and mason bees. Place a “mason bee house” about two metres off the ground and out of the wind. b. Put out birdfeeders, including hummingbird feeders. Squish an over-ripe banana with a fork onto a dish and place it outside to attract butterflies. Mix up your bird food to include peanuts, black oil sunflowers, nyjer seed and quality millet. c. Water. Provide a drink and a bath for visiting wildlife. You will never know the degree to which a bird bath gets used, especially while you sleep.

2. Grow a variety of trees and shrubs and vines. These permanent additions to your garden support the wildlife that frequents herbaceous perennials and annuals through the production of foliage, flowers and berries.

3. Compost. Your soil will improve as you harvest the finished stuff from your composting unit or pile, and it will host small creatures that are all beneficial to your garden.

It always helps to leave your garden a little bit messy. By that we mean, leave your grass clippings on the lawn, let the leaves that fall in autumn remain on your garden, and allow some of your flowering plants to go to seed after flowering. They will provide a quality source of food for songbirds later in the season.

We are relieved that we, as Canadian gardeners, have matured to the point where we no longer fight what happens naturally in the world around us. Instead, we have a new generation of gardeners (and an old one that is learning!) who are

embracing the idea that our gardens are a natural link to the wild world – that is outside of our property lines and inside them as well.
