I love this garden bench-it started out with New Dawn roses and clematis but now it has grapevines growing over it.





Love this water fountain!



These are cleome-a good annual filler in a bed.




I couldn't find my pictures of the house so I took this one from their website.It is beautiful and in the summer it is open for tours some afternoons. The gardens are open to the public as well.


I hope you enjoyed a quick tour of their garden in August last year.


Enjoy your weekend!

Yes, indeed I did enjoy that tour....I look out into my Potager and said "oh dear heavens....I have a lot of work to do"

How exciting! Planning is half the fun! I agree with you about the meeting though - yuck! But hopefully this will be a learning experience for both parties - you bring a lot to the table!!!

I'm excited to see your garden in bloom!

Lynn said...

Terrific for you. Your blog is a lovely place to visit - so thanky you for taking the time to share with us. I'll be looking forward to seeing what the spring and summer bring to your garden ( in your spare time of course)

Enjoyed that tour!! I'll be looking forward to future posts about your experiences on the board - maybe we all can learn something. I would love to learn about some different varieties to use for a short growing season. I'm assuming your season is short in PEI, is it? Sally

Carolyn said...

Yes,Salmagundi we do have a shorter season here.Our daffodils will probably be blooming in a week or so and usually by mid October we will have a killing frost.On the plus side, we usually have enough rain and sun to keep everything green and lush right through this growing season.
Take care,
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,
They do have splendid gardens there. I have been inside the house more than I have been outside. I often take in the Concerts put on by UPEI students. Congratulations on being chosen as a planner; that's quite an honour! What do you think of the temperatures we got today? 22 degrees out there right now; we'll take it! Enjoy your weekend.

Blessings,
Sandi

What a lovely place! You will surely make a fabulous addition to their board from what I've seen of your photos of your own gardens! :)
