ReplyDeleteI sure do enjoy the variety of garden tours you share Philip... this one is spectacular!!! Larry
ReplyDeleteI am really glad that we were able to work this out for the two of you to see. Bill and Linda love to share their garden, which is fortunate, it is one of my favorites. The two of them are probably the biggest influence I had in developing my gardening style, and they have influenced countless others in this area as well. Perhaps their biggest contribution to local horticulture was to show local gardeners just how many different things will grow here, beyond boxwood, azaleas and holly.
ReplyDeleteWow, I just don't understand how people can find the time to keep their garden absolutely perfect!
ReplyDeleteWow! I just love the landscape of the the garden. It was really stunning! I really appreciate the details and the choice of plants. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! This is one garden I hadn't been able to visit. When the VA Master Gardeners went I couldn't go for some reason. So very glad you met up with Les and that you all got to see this garden....and then share it with us!! Love the mixed conifers.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos and breathtaking landscapes. Thanks for sharing.
