Flower vandals have again raided the award winning garden of celebrated Edmonton photographer Con Boland

He returned to his Riverdale home early Sunday evening and discovered his garden had been ransacked.

Expensive and rare flowers were ripped out of the ground and some were simply destroyed, Boland said. Junipers, geraniums, tulips and a rare and expensive lily, which can't be replaced, were among the flowers stolen or trashed, he added.

Vandals did about $1,500 worth of damage to Bolands garden about 3 weeks ago.

He estimated the most recent damage to his yard near 101st Avebue and 89th Street to be about $1000.
