I saw three of the gardens on Sunday. I had already visited the fourth one, Lynne Heidsiek's native habitat garden, when she was part of the Study Weekend tour that we were on.

DeleteLovely icy photos; I especially like the jeweled chicken wire!
ReplyDeleteYou've really had your share of WEATHER this winter!
