VanDusen Garden hits panic button after Level 3 water restrictions
Gardeners at VanDusen Botanical Garden are scrambling to keep treasured plants alive.
Metro Vancouver's Stage 3 water restrictions have sent the garden's 17 gardeners into panic mode as they drag out hoses and watering cans and try to keep rare and valuable plants alive while watering by hand.
"This is going to be a big problem for us," says Howard Normann, director of the garden. "In the past, we had the option of using soaker hoses and sprinklers. We have never seen anything like this before.
"This drought has the potential of doing lasting damage to the garden and many other gardens in the park board system," he said.
The same rules apply to the garden as apply to any homeowner in the Lower Mainland: Established trees and shrubs can be watered, but it must be done using a hand held device.
"It means that we are pulling out hoses and make a list of what needs to be watered first," said Normann.
Gardeners have been pulled off other duties, such replica birkin handbags as weeding and pond maintenance, and been assigned to watering.
"Some of the plants in our collection are already showing signs of stress, but overall most things are in good condition. If this drought continues, however, that will change," Normann says.
"We are focusing on looking after the most vulnerable and rarest plants. It is unfortunate if we lose the vegetable garden, but that is the least of our worries right now."
Normann says when watering restrictions were at Stage 2, he was already looking at what would need to be done if Stage 3 was announced.
"I am now looking at Stage 4. But I am hoping we get some break from this in the next two weeks. We need at least two or three days of good rainfall to get us out of this."
Normann says VanDusen may have to start looking at drilling for its own water supply, and also will have to look at other ways of recycling water. Botanical Garden is also continuing its watering vigil and carrying out the responsible watering practices it has been observing throughout the drought.
However, Doug Justice, assistant director and curator of collections, said the garden is technically exempt from the water restrictions since the collection comes under the university status.
"That doesn't mean we are being irresponsible with water. It irritates me to see people washing their cars and still replica hermes handbags outlet using sprinklers to water lawns. We are being extremely responsible and watering only the most vulnerable plants."
That includes the garden's prize rhododendron collection, since rhodos are shallow rooted. Landscape Nursery Association, said landscapers are putting all their planting projects on hold and have turned their attention to keeping established trees and shrubs alive.
"What is crucial now is to watch for plants that are under stress and watering specifically to keep valued specimens alive.
