Clark County Mini-Tour
It is a rare rainy day here in August (or more accurately, a wet, drizzly day). That means a break from watering and a good chance to catch up on blogging and other computer-related tasks. Before I continue with my England tour highlights, I wanted to share photos from this past Sunday's mini-tour of four gardens here in Clark County (an event sponsored by HPSO - Hardy Plant Society of Oregon). 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. Our first stop was the marvelous shade garden of Margaret Stapenhorst. A bluestone patio is surrounded by towering mature trees that shade a woodland garden. There was a fern table and a moss garden, as well as garden art by Steve Farris. Loved, loved the waterfall. This is what I'd like to do in our front garden, but I don't know if we have the room. Just a few streets over is the garden of Eloise and Bo...
These are beautiful frosty photos.
ReplyDeleteNice photos, Phillip. It was about 10 degrees warmer at mid-day here but cold by our standards so I also spent most of the day indoors too.
ReplyDelete#13 is my favorite.
ReplyDeletelol at first I thought you left the house to get multiple injections (shots). I was worried for you. Hope you’re well 😊
Haha, I will change the wording on that.
DeleteYes, 17 this morning and not expected to get above freezing today. This winter has been full of nights below freezing but this is the worst so far.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful frosty photos. I completely agree, that's too cold to want to be outside for very long.
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is gorgeous. The pot is an extention of the plant.
ReplyDeleteSeeing hoarfrost in the garden is a favorite winter view for me. No luck yet this winter, but I’m grateful that we’ve had snow.
