garden tour

Wow, it's been awhile!

I spent a lovely Saturday morning touring some of the gardens on the Theodore Payne Foundation garden tour weekend. The weather was gorgeous, and I felt kind of like I was at summer camp with a bunch of other native plant enthusiasts. At the peak of bloom, these plants and gardens were inspiring. This first garden, in particular, was clearly the result of great imagination and dedication. I have never seen so many happy bees, feasting on all these native plants! There were also goldfinches mobbing a feeder and on the sages as well.


One of my favorite plants on the tour was this gorgeous hybrid native sage, Salvia 'Desperado'
