    Wow. The gardens look fantastic from your photos. That Arisaema in Deborah Meyers' garden is to die for.

    I so wish I could be touring with you. I will settle for posts of every garden you see. Please.

    What fun to work this event! I hope someday to see that your garden is included. Meanwhile, I adore those shoe planters! I’ve never been a fan of these till seeing it done like that. Perfect!
