Even with the record-breaking temperatures, we yesterday made our way to check out
Redwood Park
in South
Surrey
.
The park is only 80 acres in size but has an interesting history with deaf twin brothers that got it started. Today, there are over 50 tree species growing in there with Californian Redwoods being the most spectacular ones, even when they are only 120-years-old. They are said to be the northernmost Redwood trees in the world.
The twins lived all their lives in the cottage they built in the forest. The current building is a replica of the original.
Nobody knows how it got started, but the forest has in the last decade become a home to hundreds of colorful fairy and pixie homes.
While the park itself is fairly unknown to the crowds, it is still popular place for local families and definitely worth a visit from the city!
The weather was unfortunately way too hot to further explore the forest, but I can tell that we will be back at some point!
