A WEALTH OF IDEAS!

As you can see, visiting gardens gives you a wealth of ideas! I was so enthralled by their works here that I HAD to come back in the fall of 2009. I the spring, I started one group of green containers here under one of our river birches. The pots that I want in the group are not that easy to locate all at once. I did find one that I loved but when I returned to buy it– it was gone! I’ll add to the green group as I find them. In 2010, I’ll start a blue group…
