Seven Gardens, Two Nurseries, Six Hours part VIII City People's Garden Store

You may remember past visits to this cool nursery here and here. For those of us addicted to plants and gardening, there's always something new and wonderful to find at  just about any nursery and this place always has a lot of great merchandise indoors and out!

From Eucalyptus lehmannii - pretty cool,eh?

I wish this potting bench would work in my garden!

It's nice to see the back area chock full of plants!  

Quite a contrast from this picture taken in February!

You can see some of the bare root stock had started to arrive but those poor lonely benches made me sad.

Back to April! Look at the huge leaf on that Astilboides tabularis.  Throw in some slug holes and a bunch of litter from a cherry tree nearby and you've got what mine looks like.

The carnivorous plants are blooming!

I love this time of year don't you?  Our gardens are so full of life and color!

An arisaema unfurls a bloom.

City People's Nursery carries  this fun  furniture.  One might think that it was permanent but the sprouting of new foliage from the large vertical branch on the front right tells us that this is indeed new.

So many lust worthy plants!

Calycanthus 'Hartlage Wine' came home with me. 

Twig bench in front of  Hydrangea 'Plum Passion'  

I didn't get the variety of this columbine but the color glowed!

If you look hard enough, there's always an agave!

Great conifers!

Some gorgeous acer palmatums!

They also had a nice selection of bamboos, including one that I though I killed this winter.  I almost bought a replacement but Alison urged me to be sensible and give the poor naked bamboo in my garden a little bit more time.  I'm happy to announce that just yesterday I was studying mine for signs of life and noticed new leaves sprouting from some of the branches.  It will take some time to regain it's former glory but I'm glad that Alison gave me such wise advice and saved me some money to boot!
