Garden Tour

My friend, Judy, and I went on a garden tour today. What a nice relaxing way to find new plants, ideas on decorating your gardens and just plain fun to talk to other fellow garden lovers!!! We toured 5 homes and all were quite different, but also had some of the same plants. Lots of shade plants in one, lots of sunny type in another. The flowers were in glorious color and I took lots of pictures so I would not forget what went good together!!! One of the homes had my favorite flower, the Sweet Pea. You could smell them when you entered the backyard, and they were beautiful too!! I cannot wait to plant some in the fall, hope to have them next year growing up a wire fence!! There were waterfalls, bird houses, and old windows fixed so cleverly that it made you want to go home and start fixing the same for yourself!! Each hostess had a couple of different drinks, punch, lemonade, etc for the ladies, which was very welcome indeed as it turned out to be one of the hottest days we've had. :-) At the last one, there was a beautiful array of food for lunch and also a drawing, in which 5 lucky ladies won plants. I look forward to the next trip which will be in July. I believe a Japanese garden in a nearby city. Ah, it was great. Antique Rose
