Adele wins $1000 prize for her Backyard Wars entry at the 2015 Edmonton Home and Garden Show. The Alice in Wonderland theme was a lot of fun. Thanks to Canar Rock Products for the retaining wall blocks, fountain and rocks, Greenland Garden Centre for the plants, and Hammer & Forge for an incredible wrought iron gazebo, gate and screen! Art students from W.P. Wagner collaborated on some fabulous murals.
"Earthworm (Adele Goodwin) came to my yard and provided a spectacular design in a matter of three hours from start to finish – all I had to do was dream. My new-to-me house has a very plain-jane yard. I love to spend time relaxing in yard and garden so wanted to transform it into something beautiful but didn’t know where to start. A friend called Earthworm last year and recommended it so I called. I’m so glad I did. In three years I will change a square box into a gorgeous, calming respite. The process involved me and built on my preferences and tastes all the way, incorporating everything that I love. Adele’s expertise and creativity was extremely valuable. Once we started looking at options and talking, I completely changed my original concept. Going into this, I was hoping for a basic back deck with a garden, some flowers, blah, blah, blah. The design that Adele developed will create a wonderful, dramatic oasis – for me and for the neighbourhood enjoying its beauty – for years and years to come. What a gift Earthworm is! Thank you so much, Adele!! I’m pinching myself – I feel like a little girl who just got a pony! This was the smartest investment I could have ever made."
