When you see something enough in the online world, you
sometimes have trouble realizing it really exists in the real
world. That’s what happened on the recent Heart of Garden Walk Buffalo bus tour
from Horizon Club Tours with Sally Cunningham.
Jim Charlier, former president of Garden Walk Buffalo and
blogger behind Art of Gardening,
and his wife opened their yard and gardens to us just before Garden Walk
Buffalo weekend, and suddenly everything I saw on his blog was real…
…the Harry
Potter garden…
…the garden
art…
It was all right there to see with my own eyes – and my own
camera.
As always, I take waaaay too many ideas away from other
people’s gardens, and this one was no exception. Some of my favorite things:
Coleus and hostas in pots – if only the rabbits and deer
didn’t like both soooo much…
The “rock garden”…
…complete with a list of where the rocks came from
Coleus with sweet potato vines in hanging baskets – BIG hanging
baskets!
I would like to thank the Charliers for opening their yard
and garden to us and many other garden junkies throughout the National Garden
Festival and Garden Walk Buffalo.
