Garden tour



A woman walked past our house and mentioned that she liked to see the changes that I make to the garden. I invited her for a tour, but she just walked on by.


My daughter Julia came for a visit and I asked if she would like a garden tour. She reminded me that I had just given her one recently.


I can't get anyone to take the garden tour.


Here's what they are missing:



In the front garden, spring wildflowers take in the sun while the tall oaks are still bare of leaves overhead.




In early April, Virginia bluebells are at their peak. They are among the earliest of bloomers.




Near the Virginia bluebells, the mayapples have just opened their umbrellas. Jacobs ladder can be seen in the background, but the wispy blue flowers do not photograph well.





Carolina jessamine invites visitors to the back garden.





Beyond the Carolina jessamine is my new garden bench, a birthday gift from my husband.





To the left of the new bench is a Asian hybrid azalea that refused to bloom for 10 years. Three years ago, I threatened it with a shovel. Finally this year, it bloomed for the first time.






When the flowers of the bed buckeye tree open, it is time to put out the hummingbird feeders.





The bloodroot is almost finished blooming, but this last pair reminded me of two beautiful daughters dressed up for Easter.





Happy spring.

Mwg, I would take a tour of your garden if you invited me. I'd love it! It's beautiful and I would learn a lot from you, I think.

Nice to know you in NC and thanks for visiting!

Meg,
Mom and I need reservations to tour your garden, in the fall for sure, but maybe earlier, if I ever get my act together. Beautiful photos of a beautiful garden by a beautiful lady. Happy, happy Easter.

Thanks for the tour, Meg. Beautiful early spring flowers. Amazing that it took that azalea 10 years to bloom! If you're ever in Greensboro, stop by for a tour of my garden!
