Cougar Annie's Garden

This special place can be found at the head of Boat Basin near Hot Springs Cove on the west side of Vancouver Island.  A school group was touring the garden when we arrived so we tagged along and received the royal tour.  Peter has maintained and augmented the image of a strong pioneer woman and her love for flowers and the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island.

A picturesque wheelbarrow no longer in use.

A wooden chair awaits at the end of a plank path.

Buildings slumping back into the earth.

Peter cut and finished this 25' long table of white cedar. Peter's dream is for his Field Service Center to serve those studying botany and forestry.

The kitchen at Peter's Field Studies Center is first class.

Peter owns, maintains and crafts a new dream for Cougar Annie's Garden.
