Yep. New header. I was sad to let that oak tree go, too, but it's time for some summer flowers, picked this morning from the Reeder garden patch.
The garden of Nita and Kelly Walker is set on ten acres bordering Paradise Valley Conservation Area, in the Cascade foothills.
In this potting shed we found yummy cookies and the guest sign in.
These giant zinnias were started in the greenhouse.
The greenhouse is behind the potting shed.
A friend was displaying her glass flowers for sale to visitors. I didn't need any :-)
There beautiful plantings led us from the front of the house around the side and to the back.
There terraces led to a lawn and the edge of the forest.
The deck overlooked it all,
including this wonderful border of summer perennials.
Another border around the other side of the house was full of self-sown nicotiana and dahlias.
What fun we were having visiting all there lovely gardens.
A spectacular garden! Wow, ten acres is a lot to care for but they do it beautifully!

Adore your new flower header. Those gardens up north all look pretty spectacular. Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteYou still have major blooms to show. this garden used flowers to show off color.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely awesome! They must have learned how to make those glass flowers from you. That's an amazing zinnia.
ReplyDeleteThe Red Dahlias and White Nicotiana are beautiful together. I wonder what the wire part was on that glass flower?? beautiful gardens:)
