Local gardener shares tips for spring
By Bonnie Gropp
When the colours of summer
bloom surrounding you in fra-
grance and beauty, it's often easy to
take for granted. But aesthetically
pleasing iandscaping doesn't just
happen; it takes knowledge, time
and nurturing along with a bit of
common sense.
Local gardener Robert Hunking
of RR1, Auburn designed the mem-
orable gardens at the Bayfield Lit-
tle Inn, which have been a favourite
site for weddings, and annually
tends to the grounds at Memorial
Hall.
In 1982, Mr. Hunking left the

heart regarding a chosen occupa-
tion and since leaving school in
1985 has divided his time between
landscape work and farming. Also,
for the past two years he has
worked with the Te-em Farm
Greenhouse Garden Centre opera-
tion in Bayfield.
Though Mr. Hunking does con-
sultations and rough plans his pri-
mary business is lawn and garden
maintenance. He prefers natural
looks saying, "I like to keep things
simple."
When designing gardens, Mr.
Hunking stresses the importance of
getting the plant that fits. "Don't try
and make the plant fit; find one
suited to the spot you have for it."
For example, he says, people will
often be so enchanted by the beauty
of a Colorado Blue Spruce that they
don't stop to think its potential
height of 60 feet does not make it
an appropriate plant for a bed close
to the house. Placing an upright
evergreen under a window is anoth-
er "no-no", said Mr. Hunking.
To decide whether to plant annu
als or perennials takes some con-
sideration as well. "People may
disagree with me when I say this
but if you don't want year round

work then annuals are the way to
go," says Mr. Hunking, adding that
this type of garden does get costly.
