Stroll is a series of geo-triggered episodes for Android phone and earbuds on the Interpretours platform while walking in Walker Botanical Garden, Rodman Hall Art Centre, St. Catharines ON

Water shows a diagram of the irrigation system developed with Walker Botanical Garden in the late 1980s which drew water from a shore well beside Twelve Mile Creek, superimposed over aerial footage of the creek. The voices are the designer of the garden and its current manager mixed with the sound of the fountain behind the gallery that served as a relief valve for the irrigation system.
