The Garden Tour
Woman in the Middle | April 28, 2013The garden tour this past weekend was lovely. I enjoyed all three that we visited, even though they were not the style of garden that I would choose, if I had unlimited time and money. I actually have a pretty decent yard. It just needs more attention, like so many aspects of my life. So I was jealous of the way the yards looked, all neat and spiffy. I also decided I need more yard art and immediately asked for that for Mother’s Day. We shall see if that happens…. Here are some photos of pretty things I saw.

The owners of one of the gardens we toured liked using unusual containers for their plants. Here is a cactus in an old metal flour sifter.
Here is a plant in an old metal bread box.

At the next house we visited I couldn’t resist taking a photo of the orange butterfly on the purple statice.

I am not an expert photographer so this shot taken at the third garden we visited doesn’t do what I saw justice. Maybe you can get a bit of an idea what I was trying to show you. There is a planter in front of a view fence filled with an interesting variety of plants. There were roses, succulents, and even vegetables!
