Flower Show and Garden Tour
Woman in the Middle | April 11, 2017I had a fun time Sunday going to the annual flower show and garden tour in my area with my friend Chris. Hubby used to go with me, but he finally admitted that. with several garden tours under his belt, he was good for a while. So I enlisted Chris, who loves gardening and all things plants and flowers. This is our third year to bond over amazing gardens and lovely plants and flowers and we do enjoy it! I took a few photos to share, of course!
I love succulents, and here were a couple of big, beautiful ones that were entered into the flower show.
As part of our plan to get the back yard back to beautiful, I want to put in a path to our deck and replace the stepping stones to Hubby’s shop with a matching path. At one garden we toured, they jazzed up some plain brick areas with glass brick and with those little glass stones you use in flower vases. So pretty!
I enjoyed seeing the many creatives uses of flower pots. Here they put this tall pretty blue one in a corner to add some color.
The next few photos are from another house. They filled a long dirt area along a driveway with a “river” of rocks, interspersed with sets of three pots filled with succulents. The interesting thing is that the pots don’t match, some are set on others to give the right height, and it looks great!
I love surprises in a garden like this bunny statue.
I love this potting shelf.
I couldn’t resist a photo of these pretty pink flowers.
I never thought of planting succulents in such a way that they would grow to hang down over a retaining wall.
One of the houses had quite the view. For those of you who live where I do, this is looking northeast towards Rattlesnake Mountain.
