And it was a good hour; I should say an excellent hour! I've enjoyed all the tours of the nurseries, so much imagination in the displays. I enjoyed reading about the two rescued gardens, too, how wonderful they were saved and placed into botanical protection. And most of all, I enjoyed seeing your own garden (complete with hose-snakes trying their best to trip unsuspecting garden visitors, for just like any garden, things are not always absolute perfection! My mantra this spring has been progress, not perfection, but lately even progress is not guaranteed. I have a disaster here this year, unrivaled by any previous disasters in the past thirty years of gardening. I can only hope my garden shapes up as wonderfully as yours!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-73341188948496196642017-06-03T19:30:59.502-07:002017-06-03T19:30:59.502-07:00Looks like a fabulous nursery.

Beautiful - but they are treated as annuals, in fact until I read your post I had always assumed they were annuals.

We actually visited a garden shop this morning (bonus: they serve breakfast). It was a fun Saturday excursion...don't know why we don't do it more often. You continue to lead by example.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843132106213356234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-29330296597540259822017-06-03T10:24:58.830-07:002017-06-03T10:24:58.830-07:00Did I say shopping or window shopping with you is ...Did I say shopping or window shopping with you is always fun.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834331771109216377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-4191953688456819352017-06-03T06:27:33.715-07:002017-06-03T06:27:33.715-07:00I don't know how you keep up this grueling pac...I don't know how you keep up this grueling pace of nursery visits, but thanks! Your efforts are appreciated :)<br />Sometimes I'm glad plants will politely fade away and die when neglected, it's so much easier to ignore the fact I buy much more than I need... it's just disposing of the pots which becomes a problem. bittsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547598484469324272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-48301862729875407252017-06-03T05:14:34.597-07:002017-06-03T05:14:34.597-07:00What another great nursery!

Is it a big of a thug as the one I already have (and can't get rid of), or maybe better behaved? I'm thinking of going to Bellevue Nursery first thing tomorrow to pick one out. If it's safe. <br />You left us hanging: did Loree need a bougainvillea? chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-78705119192989059262017-06-02T07:35:49.459-07:002017-06-02T07:35:49.459-07:00We were impressed with Bellevue Nursery when we we...We were impressed with Bellevue Nursery when we were there for a class several months ago. Looks great now, too. i love that petunia, and the alstroemeria, but we have neither in our garden this year.
