Open Gardens #3, 4 & 5

Mark Henry has a city garden right in Shohomish.  This is what is hidden behind a privet hedge and a Gothic gate.








The Hoerners live in a lovely, upscale development north of Snohomish.  Their garden is large and lush and lovely.











Fred and Ed know how to make a garden livable as well as beautiful.  From front to back, seating and living areas abound.  And oh, the color!















Happy 4th of July, everyone!

    Wow, that's a lot of beauty. I like the huge drill bits made into yard art. What's with that black ball that's made a nest on top of something that looks like a big piece of bamboo? That blue plastic whirlie thing stuck now in that pot of light green foliage is very pretty. Love the little garden houses. What about that orange flower that looks like it's grown a long orange tail? The old bicycle with petunias in the basket is a clever idea.

    I'm just amazed at how lush and gorgeous everything is. All that took a lot of work and loving care. Your photos really bring out the beauty in all those gardens.

    I am in awe of the beauty of the gardens at your home and in your state. We are struggling mightily to keep our parched plants alive here in Missouri. Your photos are always incredible.

    Exquisite! I liked the bike and bed, bringing a bit of whimsy into that garden. I sent folks your way yesterday, Linda, I hope that some of them will come to visit and enjoy your lovely garden tour. Thank you!
