With time, Lakhi’s age caught up with her, and she showed signs of slowing down, old injuries got inflamed and she seemed to prefer resting against the mud beds in her enclosure. Late Saturday evening on the 3rd of March, she seemed more weary than usual, and even as her knees buckled under her, Asha and Coco rushed to her side to support her. Asha appeared calm and strong, as if she knew in her own way that this was it – Coco panicked initially, rushing about and running circles around her fallen friend. The team rushed in, the crane was called in to lift her back to her feet and support her – the elephants moved aside and watched, Asha touching them gently as they huddled together. They stood back as the team tried to get her back to her feet, even the younger elephants seemed uncharacteristically calm. Maybe they knew, maybe they realised it was time to let go and had their chance to say their goodbyes, and wanted to let her pass in peace. Lakhi resisted being lifted, as if she too knew her time had come. She let out her final breath and slumped down against the mud bed, eyes shut looking like she was completely at peace. As the team moved away, heartbroken, Asha rumbled loudly from where she was standing, but none of the elephants moved – Coco let out a small wail, and from every enclosure elephants responded softly with rumbles, trumpets and huffs all the way from the bulls to the closerby females like Phoolkali like an orchestra of calm, reassuring solidarity for their fallen friend.

Ever looked at a garden that just seems to ‘pop’? That’s the magic of landscape layering at work. It’s like a symphony in greenery, where each plant plays its part to create a harmonious whole.
This technique isn’t just about plopping plants in the soil; it’s about planning and positioning them to create depth, interest, and movement. In Ottawa, where our gardens endure everything from sweltering summers to snowy winters, layering isn’t just beautiful; it’s smart gardening.
It allows for a vibrant display that transitions gracefully with the seasons, and it’s practical, offering protection for your plants from our notorious climate swings.
