Cullen Gardens a show place VAN BELLE ON GARDENING GARDENING Over a ridge in the landscape, landscape, and into the valley, Len Cullen sees his dream becoming fulfilled. Just north of the town of Whitby, Durham's newest cultural addition addition has become a reality namely CULLEN GARDENS. Last week we were privilig- ed to visit Cullen Gardens and were simply amazed witn the work that Len Cullen and his crews have created. Knowing Len Cullen for several years, it shows again hfs determination to succeed in creating beauty in nature. . His first venture was the building of an excellent chain of Garden centres that do justice to. his name and,are one of the largest and best run Garden centres in the province, where excellence and quality are constantly maintained by a staff that is dedicated to the furtherance of the horticultural industry in general. When we drove up to Cullen Gardens we were greeted by an impressive ' driveway flanked with light standards with hanging baskets and then into the parking lot which was well maintained and again showing showing of what a parking lot should look like with trees and hedges. At the door we were greeted by a friendly lady who admitted us to the grounds where a mass display of flowers showed off the hilly hilly landscape. Cullen gardens has created a large section of miniature buildings and roadways roadways including miniature cars and people and, of course, with well landscaped homes and gardens showing older buildings as exact replicas of well known landmarks in the Durham Region. One that caught my attention was the church building with music coming from the church complete complete with wedding party in miniature at the front of the church. As you walk through this miniature village you cannot help but be amazed at the detail ot the buildings where everything is in perfect scale down to the stoplights at the intersection of Main •Street. The variety of plants used in the landscape have been chosen to set off the natural setting of the: valley where water, stones and plants give a harmonious effect. effect. We were there just; before the lights went on and strolled down into the valley through the covered bridge and through the meadow, when all at once the lights came on creating a fairy tale with floodlights shining on the surrounding: trees and' shrubs and the flowing of the water over the stones giving background music to this complete harmonious setting. The miniature fairground or amusement park again showed showed the minute details of scale models of the ferris wheel and the merry-go-round and other amusement rides. Also booths where games can' be played complete with miniature people and 1 âll the rides have their own music, Take Notice, that the Town Council at their meeting of June 29,1981 enacted By-Law No. 81-80, entitled "A By- Law to Establish a Policy with respect to. the unauthorized unauthorized removal of trees from Town owned Lands." 1.
