Real Gardens

Over the weekend I met up with my mom so that we could go and do the Buffalo Garden Walk. It was awesome to see these gardens and meet the people who work so hard on them! I was really mad that I forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures of my own. We had a great time! We saw fountains, moss gardens, and some really amazing layouts. I asked a few of the gardeners about some of their flowers. One of the homes that we saw was so impressive that while we were oodiling the owner asked if we garden at all. We both said yes, and he gave us a seed from his Jerusalem Cherry plant. He told us how to plant it and it should grow. I'm excited that I'll have a new indoor plant... I hope I can get it to grow. I've never grown a plant from a seed. I was so inspired seeing these beautiful gardens!!

In my inspiration I took today to work on my garden. Here are the hostas and some lilies of the valley that my mom had split and given to me yesterday.

Here are my phlox in bloom. This is the red one:

Here is the pink one:

After I worked outside all morning, I went to the garden center. This was my first time to go to this one and I WILL go back!!! They were super nice and they had some sweet plants for sale. Today was a sale on all their perennials, so I got a fire witch plant. I also got these name plates for my plants so I know who is who and where they are!

Now I feel like my garden could be photographed for a magazine.... I think I need to work a little harder before that happens!
