I spent today with about 75 of our local Master Gardeners, touring a total of eight private gardens around the metro area. We saw formal gardens, cottage gardens, thick and ornamental gardens with every possible inch filled with plant material, spacious, fresh air lawns and rose gardens, a tranquil and stately shade garden, a feng shui garden, and a delightfully eclectic handicap-accessible garden. And everything in between. Friends, I am in the most delicious state of overload this evening. I took right at 400 photos and plenty of notes in order to share each of these gorgeous spaces with you in detail; but tonight I’ll give you a little teaser.
(You can check my Instagram for the photos I posted live throughout our tour.)
Okay that will have to do for a little teaser. I mean it when I say that each garden is truly beautiful. Each has its own personality, just like the gardeners. Each has its own place in this world, just like the gardeners. And each left a deep impression on me too. I am reeling from the impact, pleasantly buzzing with inspiration.
See you soon.
XOXO

Thank you for sharing these beautiful gardens. Be so happy to see the rest.
Have a good, maybe rainy, weekend. If you have time go by the Logan County Free Fair. It is great this year. MG have a table with lots of good garden information and handouts.

Hi Martie!! How have you been? : )) I hope you can follow along. I have now posted two of the individual garden write ups. Six more coming. SUCH inspiration out there!! How did the fair go? We stopped in at the Shawnee fair last weekend, it was ok. ; ) I did meet some Master Gardeners from that county. Nice to hear from you!
