Dianne and Ted Cofer’s garden in Slave Lake is this weeks Beautiful Garden. This year their great-grandson Kobie Lucius helped plant. Ted started many of the plants from seed. There are also various perennials, annuals and
vegetables.

Two white cucumbers in the greenhouse.
A perennial which neither Dianne nor Ted can remember the name of. They planted it when they owned the Ladybug Greenhouse in Widewater.
The Cofers have several other perennials which are doing very well. Two are heliopsis (a false sunflower) and ligulara, which has a stem of flowers several feet high covered in small yellow flowers.
