This was our favourite garden.
We then drove back towards home to visit a 2 acre garden that we had visited before but were keen to see again. Unfortunately, it started to rain before we got there so it was a quick visit. One bonus was that the Garden Club selling plants decided to sell them all for $1.00 so that they didn't have to take them back home. I had a $5.00 note so bought five - 2 geraniums, chives and 2 petunias.
The rain made it difficult to take photos so just the one.
I wish I knew more about flower gardening!!!
ReplyDeleteI just buy what I like and stick it in the ground, the same as vegies.
DeleteThose echiums are cool, they attract the bees and are good to add sculpture to a garden.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely aren't they. I also like the Cottage Garden Echium. Bees love that as well.
DeleteBoth impressive..but especially the first...even allowing for the time...both working...
ReplyDeleteIt was hard to do it justice in photos.
DeleteThese gardens look very exotic, how pleasant to be able to look around them. I recognize the tall plant with many pale blue flowers as I have been given several seedlings of it from the gardener of the town's sub-tropical garden. I'm hoping the winter will not be too harsh!
ReplyDeleteI hope they do well. I must try them again. I have Echium Cottage Garden which is not as striking but the bees and butterflies love it.
