I have been going through a lot of my old photos lately and thought I would share
a few of my favorite shots of our summer garden ~ hope you enjoy coming along.
all aspects of the garden.
bee balm and phlox on a misty morning.
from the road.
the distance with over 60 garden bus tours booked this summer we may
have to hire a part time garden helper this year. For many years Andrew
and I did all the 'work' ourselves but last year our son helped out and
hopefully we will again this year.
The arbor that Andrew built several years agohas aged nicely.
Porches and Gardens magazine on the stands now.
couple of years ~ it is at the south side of the
Gardener's Cottage. If you would like to see
inside our little Gardener's Cottage click here
to see the different looks it has had.
I am sure all of you gardeners are looking
forward to getting out in your gardens too.
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn

Absolutely stunning, Carolyn! Do you keep up all that yourself or have gardeners? Your home is lovely too. So nice of you to share it on your blog. Your place reminds me of the bed & breakfast inns my hubby and I stay in!
Hi Kathryn,
We have done it all in the past
but with more bus tours last year and even more booked for this year
we have help from our son now.
Thank you for your kind words and visit!

So lovely, Carolyn. Everyone like a painting. I'm moving to an apartment next month. But I have a fenced in small patio and I will still garden. A gardener cannot stop gardening!

Just gorgeous! As always.

Just stunning, Carolyn! I am yearning to see even one little bud coming up at this point.
Carolyn,
Being a long time gardener, these pictures of your beautiful garden makes my heart sing. I am fairly new to your blog, and am really looking forward to your spring photographs. You have so many talents.
Carolyn, you truly have the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing them with us so that we, too, can walk through them and sit and admire!
Your garden is dreamy. While I was looking at your pictures I was thinking to myself, this must be what heaven looks like. Thank you for a lovely tour!
Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
I am so pleased to see all this beautiful colour today during this white blizzard we're experiencing. ;) I bought the Porches and Gardens magazine yesterday but didn't know that was your photo of the clematis. I did notice the photo on the very back page though and thought it was your porch with the screen doors. Am I right? Exciting to see!
Hi Pamela,
Not a nice day here either...snow,freezing rain and wind.
Yes, you are right that is our porch on the back page of Porches and Gardens.
Hope you are warm and cosy indoors today!
Carolyn
Your summer garden photos are stunning! The gardens make me dream of warmer weather! ;)
Oh what a sweet pleasure to look at your gorgeous gardens. It is all like stepping into an enchanted garden. What a blessing to be surrounded by such beauty Carolyn. Have a lovely rest of the week.

Absolutely beautiful! what a lovely garden you have created, a feast for winter-weary folks!
Wow, I'm even more impressed that your family does it on your own! How fun to have bus tours. You deserve it; I know how hard you work on all of this, even though fun and enjoyable. You are one talented lady, Carolyn and hurray for you for bringing "Downton Abbey" style beauty to the world. Blessings.
I forwarded this blog to my daughter who is recovering from a broken ankle and she emailed back, "I want it all, but without the work". We live on a farm, so we know about the work. Thank you for a touch of spring. My crocus are blooming here in NEKS
In this time of year it is so lovely to see these gorgeous pictures of your beautiful garden. We are really looking forward to summer. I understand you did until now all the gardenwork with your husband and help of your son..... I know it is quite a job when busloadings are coming to visit, you have to go on and on.
A wonderful walk through your garden and sitting and admiring different vantage points. It would be lovely to do a real garden tour. Told my husband your property and meeting you is on my bucket list.Hugs Shirley N.Z.
Beautiful!! The people who are scheduled for your upcoming garden tours are in for such a treat. It would be my dream to see your beautiful gardens in person some day.
Thank you for sharing them here.
you are living in a fairytale EYAfrom GREECE
Qui c'è da sognare!!!!

It looks like a heavenly dream Carolyn and I long for a nice cup of tea while strolling though.
You have such a grace about you and all you have to care for.
Take care

Hi Carolyn,
I love looking at your garden photos. I picked up the Porches and Gardens magazine a couple weeks ago and thought I recognized your photos! Congratulations again!
Hugs,

I am truly impressed!
I'm curious what variety of clematis is climbing the wooden birdhouse? It is so beautiful!
Thanks!

Your gardens are amazing!! You must have just the most perfect climate there in the summer. We suffer from drought here in Texas. My gardens are pretty but nothing like yours.

The beautiful clematis growing up the birdhouse is Ville de Lyon.
Thanks for all your sweet comments.
Enjoy your day!

Very Lovely Carolyn! Your gardens are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing with us! You have a beautiful Blog!
Carolyn votre jardin et un bijoux précieux . Une pure merveille . Merci pour ce doux partage .
Bonne semaine
The picture labeled "The most colorful time in our garden is early August" is my all-time favorite!
Carolyn, as always your property is so beautiful! I love that clematis climbing up the pole to the birdhouse. Do you know what variety the clematis is? Love that color!
I think I saw that magazine Porches and ? the other day at Harris Teeter..will look for it tomorrow when I go there. Your pictures are always magazine worthy!

Hi Carolyn, I just think your home and gardens are just beautiful. Do you and your husband do all of this yourselves? The colors you use are some of my favorites. I love the way you laid out everything and added benches, etc. to make it even more inviting. It's gorgeous. I love your blog. Thanks for sharing.
Marilyn Cruze Sorensen (I have a twin by the name of Carolyn)♥
Your garden and photography is a true role model for me. I love the clematis in the birdhouse and the little rose round. I have tried to do something similar in my garden. I love it. What a talented star you are. All the best Mari
the garden is very beautiful and colorful. It's very rare to see a park as good as this.

I'm truly impressed with the way your garden looks like...It's really neat! Where did you get that rustic bench? It's awesome, could sit there whole days and watch my garden! It must be really relaxing! Yes, lilacs are also one of my favourite flowers. Most often I buy 'Asiatic' Lilies. They grow quite high. I always put them into ground in a special baskets so their bulbs are safe. Year by year I order them on https://gardenseedsmarket.com/lilium/ ,where in the spring season choice is enormous!
Wow! Beautiful House garden. The people who are scheduled for your upcoming garden tours are in for such a treat. It would be my dream to see your beautiful gardens in person some day.
