The early morning sun chases the last wisps of mist from the fields and gilds the tops of the daisies, globe thistles and goldenrod lining the driveway of Tuscan Farm Gardens, near Langley in the heart of BC’s Fraser Valley. Beyond a split-rail fence, criss-crosses of tidy boxwood contain billowing yellow roses and a gigantic selection of herbs that would do an apothecary proud. Scarlet runner beans scramble up an arbour at the entry to a colourful vegetable garden spread out like Joseph’s storied coat. Around the bend, glimpses of sweeping beds of ornamental grasses, a wisteria-covered pergola and a stone patio bright with giant pots of geraniums draw the visitor into a world of relaxed enchantment—exactly the effect owners Heather and Arleigh Fair intended when they created this place.
**Arrayed against the forest backdrop, mounding lavender, sunny pot marigolds and exuberant purple coneflowers fill a corner of the 80 lush acres that make up Tuscan Farm Gardens in Langley, BC.**
