Open Garden #2
The Huntington Garden sits just above the Snohomish Valley with views out to the fields and pastures below. These are people who just kept going and going until they had most of their acreage landscaped. The result is a riot of color and texture and form in abundance.
We parked in their pasture and entered through the bottom of the garden.
The Huntingtons are old hands at open gardens, but that doesn't negate the tremendous effort involved in preparing a garden this large and this exuberant for viewing by fellow gardeners. Thank you for the privilege of spending time in your sanctuary.

What a delight! You have described this garden quite well by calling it exuberant. I loved the display of hats!
ReplyDeleteThese people must have a gardening staff. So much work goes into that much beauty.
ReplyDeleteI saw a red smoke tree for the first time last week. It was beautiful. I had a green one in Texas but it never smoked much. Loved the hat idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a massive and beautiful garden Linda. It must take a lot of work! - Dave
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tour! It is a lovely garden, but I think I love the first one even more. Don't tell! :-)
ReplyDeletea bit of cooling heaven for us in 100+ degree heat...
ReplyDeleteOh, Linda! Both of these posts are so beautiful. How do they get everything watered? I really like the individual flower pots at the base of the tree.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing these with us.
