Phillip, I love Lewis Ginter! I judge rose shows there often and will be doing so again in October. The gift shop/cafe is the nicest I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous. Too bad the roses weren't at their best.
Another big WOW from Wisconsin... what a marvelous place! Larry
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Phillip. Of course you know I love the water and maples...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I've got to get up there.
ReplyDeleteYou knew I would love the round garden with the humongous mortar and pestal. It must be for a giant. Is that the herb garden? What an inspirational place.
ReplyDeletebeautiful. I think the outdoor installation is by Patrick Dougherty, or someone inspired by him.
ReplyDeleteHahaha glad you stopped at the Virginia Diner! Love those kind of places.
ReplyDeleteYour photos of Lewis Ginter are wonderful. I went there years ago and saw one of the most beautiful hosta plantings I had ever seen. Was hoping to recreate it now that I have shade, but the deer have other ideas.
Loe the thatched roof cottage. I liked the work in progress installation. You so need structure in the landscape and both of these delivers. Thanks for the tour.
ReplyDeleteLove the shot of the lantern with the crepe myrtles..
ReplyDeleteI bet the smell inside the conservancy with all the Liliums was heavenly. Thanks for posting, as I hadn't heard of this garden.
ReplyDeleteThe Saints parents live in VA and mom has told us many times that we need to get to this garden. When we head home, it seems we are so eager to get to our families, that we pass such wonders along the way. After seeing these beautiful pics, I know we must plan an extra day to visit this wonderful place! Thanks for the enticement …
