Garden Tour 2014

Mom, here are my garden tour pics for you. This is a mix of all 3 gardens.

What to do with a stump?

Mini fairy garden.

What great doggie steps!

 I liked the shape of these leaves.

I liked this support.

 These were so unusual, I thought they were fake.

This garden won a Star Tribune contest. See more pictures here. 

Lots of great stonework there.

And sculptures.

Bye!

Here is my garden tour from 2010.

Let's Party Like It's 1785

It was a very pink year. Not the pink you think of, but a salmon-y pink. Pantone had a dirty salmon in its color preditions for 2010, but nothing bright like this.

I saw it in fabrics and in fashion, old and new.

In meat and in messages.

Near the King's palace.

In "just the right size" presents.

Or on just the label.

Fresh tulips from mom.

Even the compost pile can be pretty.

Garden Tour 2010

Mom,

Here are some highlights from the four gardens I toured this weekend. Most had water features--most were hilly and some were wet from the "big storm" the night before. One had a triple river (reminded me of a hot wheels race track). Seems like the people who are into water and paving stones aren't really into plants..."That's a hydrangea over there," I overheard a homeowner say. I liked the "doin' the dishes" water tub and the rusty roosters.  PS if you double click on the pictures you can see them better.
