Garden of the Month
Toronto Music Garden 
An incredible landscape not to be missed if ever in Toronto, the Music
Garden was designed by Julie Moir Messervy along with world reknown cellist
Yo-Yo Ma as an interpretation of Bach's suite no.1 for unaccompanied cello.
The garden, as the suite, is in 6 parts. The makings of this can
be seen in a video documentary, and more details of the garden online.
It is one of the top landscapes I have visited. Photos were taken in May
and August, 2005.
