August in Windsor-Essex County is a golden moment in the garden. Late summer sunshine lingers over lush green spaces, and blooms are at their fullest. Gardens are alive with colour, pollinators are still hard at work, and the slower pace of late summer invites us to savour the season, whether you're harvesting fresh produce or enjoying quiet evenings on the patio.
