Labor of love in bloom in Vancouver woman’s yard

Spring is in full bloom in the garden of longtime northwest Vancouver resident Kay Viviani, as she keeps the area in top shape Thursday morning. Viviani said she has been gardening since she was a child and learned to love the activity from her grandfather. She helps bring about 200 plants to life each year and keeps up the garden in tribute to her late husband Nick Viviani who died in 2016. Gardening was a pastime they enjoyed together, and she hopes to share it with those passing by, she said. “It’s my garden, it’s my life, it’s what I enjoy,” she said.
