The red fox is by far the most widespread and abundant species of fox, found in almost every single habitat in the Northern Hemisphere, from the coastal marshes of United States, to the alpine tundras of Tibetan Plateau.

Spring is one of the four temperate seasons, the transition period between winter and summer. Spring and "springtime" refer to the season, and broadly to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth.

A "gardener" is any person involved in gardening, arguably the oldest occupation, from the hobbyist in a residential garden, the homeowner supplementing the family food with a small vegetable garden or orchard, to an employee in a plant nursery or the head gardener in a large estate.

At the gardens in Montreal. A Bench (furniture) is a long seat fit for several persons, with or without back and/or arm rests, for sitting indoor (often in rows) or outdoor (as in a park). Benches are most often found in bus stops, parks, and cafeterias. Some benches are dedicated as a small memorial. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jardin botanique de Montréal or Montreal Botanical Garden is a large botanical garden in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. With its size of 185 acres (748,668 square meters), it is second only to Kew Gardens, London.

The botanical gardens are located at 4101 Sherbrooke East ( 45°33′26.00″N, 73°33′24.50″W), at the corner of Pie-IX and Sherbrooke Streets. They occupy a large park near Montreal's Olympic Stadium. They contain a greenhouse complex full of plants from around the world, and a number of large outdoor gardens, each with a specific theme. The greenhouses are open to visitors year round, but the outdoor gardens are bare and covered with snow from about November until about April.

The garden was founded in 1931, in the height of the Great Depression, by mayor Camillien Houde, after years of campaigning by Brother Marie-Victorin. It serves to educate the public in general and students of horticulture in particular, it serves to conserve endangered plant species, and it is used for botanical research.

While it charges admission, city residents can obtain a pass granting free admission to the outdoor gardens, so many people visit regularly, even if only to sit under the trees. The outdoor areas are also free to everyone between 5 p.m. and nightfall. Many weddings are performed in the gardens every year. The nearest metro station is Pie-IX, which is located on the corner of the Olympic Stadium.

Japanese Garden (Please view large)

A water source in a Japanese garden should appear to be part of the natural surroundings; this is why one will not find fountains in traditional gardens. Man-made streams are built with curves and irregularities to create a serene and natural appearance. Lanterns are often placed beside some of the most prominent water basins (either a pond or a stream) in a garden. In some gardens one will find a dry pond or stream. Dry ponds and streams have as much impact as do the ones filled with water.

Green plants are another element of Japanese gardens. Japanese traditions prefer subtle green tones, but flowering trees and shrubs are also used. Many plants in imitated Japanese gardens of the West are indigenous to Japan, though some sacrifices must be made to account for the differentiating climates. Some plants, such as sugar maple and firebush, give the garden a broader palette of seasonal color. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
