Garden Touring 3

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.

  9. Absolutely awesome! They must have learned how to make those glass flowers from you. That's an amazing zinnia.
