Hello everyone,
Welcome to my first garden tour of the season. Here on Prince Edward Island spring is always a little late in arriving but when it does I take full advantage of it and spend as many hours as I can out in the garden.So,lets have a cup of tea out in my favorite spot in early spring.
Martha's Garden (The tall statue is called Martha and she presides over this little garden all season). Now, I know there isn't a lot of color in here yet as it is still early spring for us here but the fragrance from the hyacinths is lovely and of course there are lots of birds singing.
I made some biscuits for us.They are always nice with a cup of tea.
I bought these pretty mugs at Winner's lately and they match the vintage tablecloth perfectly.
The virginia creeper is just starting to leaf out around the mirror and Martha.Once things start to pop it doesn't take long to leaf out.
We have hundreds of daffodils blooming now all over the garden.

I love that I can go out and pick garden bouquets from now until October.
The mugs and the vintage teapot are also a perfect match.
Some flowers blooming in the garden now.
This is Martha's Garden in June- my favorite time in the garden.The white shrubs that look like dead twigs now are Slender Deutiza-aren't they pretty?
Well, thank you for stopping by for my very first spring garden tea. I am sure we will be having lots of teas in the garden soon as the weather is warming up and the garden is coming alive!
Today, Bernideen is hosting a Saturday Garden Tea at Bernideen's Tea Time Blog so you can enjoy more garden teas there.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and Happy Mother's Day too!

Happy Mother's Day weekend to you Carolyn! The garden is awakening and I can't wait to see the changes as Spring turns to Summer. Your vintage tea pot is beautiful and the new cups are a great companion. Take care.

What a lovely setting, Carolyn! Your garden looks glorious. I almost picked up the yellow mugs like your blue ones but I didn't. I really don't need any more mugs. They are very pretty however. Have a lovely Mother's Day weekend.
Blessings,
Sandi
Carolyn this is just beautiful! Your garden is always unprecidented! Not sure if I spelled that right! Today I have an event at my store and baked all day yesterday for around 75.....mothers, ladies, daughters and girls.! This is a busy week - Happy Mother's Day and thank you again!
Hi Carolyn
Your garden is looking pretty already and I too have been spending hours outside.
The new mugs are nice and will hold a good amount of tea to have with your fresh biscuits.
Have a wonderful Mother's Day.

Hello Dear Carolyn...How I loved looking at the garden corner. Everything is sooooo lovely. I would do anything to find a statue like Martha. She's just gorgeous.
Carolyn, do you need to keep cleaning the mirror all summer long? It looks great.
Take care. Susan
HI Carolyn,
Oh, all the flowers are lovely. There are some of those bright bluish-purple hyacinths growing a half-block from my home. I took a photo of them the other day. Also we have some of those beautiful yellow daffodils around the apartment complex where I live :) :) those blooms are just gorgeous. That and lovely teacups and biscuits :) :) Just gorgeous :) Have a great weekend. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)

Hello Carolyn
What a clever idea to place a mirror in the garden and double the pleasure of such a pretty setting.
Is your beautiful blue teacup and saucer Spode?
Happy Spring

Dear Carolyn,
It must be a joy to you to have your first garden tour again. The table in Martha's garden looks really pretty! The mugs and the teapot are beautiful.

Hi Carolyn! I love your place in the Spring...so beautiful.
Our daffs are gone now and the flags are coming into bloom. Think here in Kansas we're a little a head of your blooming season. Just a tad bit.
I'm sure your Tea was FANTASTIC!!!

How lovely, worth the wait.......Your flowers are all lovely and your Martha's statue adds the final touch to perfection. thanks for sharing this amazing garden.

Sometimes I think I could have a garden filled with only the Spring bulbs, and be perfectly content. I love them so!
Of course, I say the same thing about every flower in its turn..... lilac, iris, roses, lilies.
Thanks so much for sharing your lovely garden with us!
