IT’S party time for the
Nelson family these
days, because —
Hailelujah! — my little
brother is getting mar-
tied.

Finally. He’s 34 and a half
years old, for Pete’s sake.

People often remark that I
still call him my litde brother.
But if you've ever been a big
sister, or ‘stitser’ as he used to
call me, you'll understand.

My little brother’s name is
John, and he was burn when
I was 10 and my big brother
was 12. An after thought, as
my fotks referred to him, he
was indulged with love and
affection from the four of us

FOR lovers of fine art and
fans of lovingly tended gardens : -...
there is a tour this weekend
that displays the beauty of
both.

The North Vancouver Community
Arts Council] has organized the Art in
the Garden Tour, noon to 5 p.m. this
Saturday and Sunday, May 27-28.

The self-guided tour spans the North
Shore, from Eagle Harbour to Deep
Cove, encompassing large estates, urban
settings and everything in between.

Twenty-two artists showcases their
talent amidst the splendour of 16 of the
North Shore’s outstanding gardens.
Artist Carolyn Margesson’s soft pastel
portraits and world traveller Jean
Bonvini’s vibrant paintings adorn Stella
Jo and Roland Dean's prize-winning
heritage garden in Carisbrooke, with
trees, ornamental shrubs and perennials
that date to 1927. Painter Lyla Bessner’s
abstracts of garden scenes complement
the cascading perennials and panoramic
ocean view of Glen Patterson's rockery
garden in Caulfeild Cove.

Artist Janis Blyth displays her colour-
ful canvases in the cottage studio and
newly planted perennial garden to the
rear of the Grand Boulevard area home
she shares with Ron Carels.

Artists and gardeners will be on site
to answer questions. Pick up a tour
guide brochure at any of the North
Shore ree centres, libraries, municipal
halls or at the North Shore News. Tour
cost is by donation at any of the sites.
