Episode 131: ‘Long Distance’: Milner House and gardens
Content
Come and walk with Ivonne in Milner House and through its famous gardens.
Learn why former owner Veronica Milner named the property ‘Long Distance’. Listen to ladies chatting in the tearoom.
Outside the house, Ivonne is stunned by the view across the bay. Boardwalks lead her to a steep slope. She notices the densely overgrown forest floor. This is a good place to experience the original Vancouver Island woodland.
Oh! What’s moving over there, near the shrubs? Listen: ravens!
