Who knew all this would happen afterwards! My winter garden against the living room windows. I let these little plants be my decorations for the season.

Art in Bloom garden tour, house number 6

Do we need weapons to fight wars? Or do we need wars to create markets for weapons? -Arundhati Roy, author (b. 24 Nov 1961)

 This was the last house on our Garden Tour for 2022!

We had a wonderful parking place right in front of the home!











A very big flower bed!

Interesting old trees.

    1. By the time I got home (this was all a Friday outing) I tried to start sorting the photos. My friend wasn't able to help me, and I had to figure out which batch went to which garden. It took several days.

    1. I hope to go to the gallery in town and see all the paintings created at the gardens, apparently 20 or so artists worked on them!

  7. Barbara, My better half loves to visit places like this. We do have a couple of similar events around here every year. My mother, half brother and stepfather got all the artistic abilities in the family...but at least I have a lot of their works. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    1. I enjoyed seeing and taking photos...after I figured out I'd really not remember any of the flowers names!

  8. I really like how they did their vegetable garden. I remember going on a garden tour with my mother once and there were some spectacular gardens. Inspiring to both of us at the time.

    1. That's what garden tours are all about, I think...coming home inspired one way or another!

  9. I'm so glad that some people have the interest and energy to create such beauty for the rest of us to enjoy. It would be a dreary world without gardens.
