Summer and life are getting in the way of blogging. So I pick up where I left off a month ago with a few additional photos of Day 2.
Brookside Garden, Wheaton
A very large crape myrtle for our region. Almost a shade tree.
The All-American display garden. A handful of gardens throughout the country display the annual All-American selections. Brookside is one of them.
"Please be gentle with me and do not move me. I have a broken knee. Thank you, Mr. Frog"
A row of Petasites japonicus along the path at the lake. These would make a good addition to the manscape.Private Garden of Scott, Arlington
I like the ability to insert a formal feel in the back although there is not much space. It had the feeling of not being too formal -- too "stuffy".
I like this way a big blank wall of the house is treated.
Into every garden a little whimsy must be added.Private Garden of Jeff, Arlington
The back terrace where the edge of the yard drops off into a steep hillside. Are all those tropicals brought indoors for winter?
Outdoor shower.
Danger! Danger!
Another water feature. Every garden has one.
