Garden Center Excursion


On Sunday, I took my mom to our favourite garden center in the next valley.  Here are some snaps (via iPhone - apologies if they are not perfect!)




Rows of herbs make my heart soar!




Of course I want more of this:



A Heliotrope that came home with me.  It smells amazing!


The garden center also had gorgeous garden stones:


Veggies!


My basket:


And this beauty came home with me too!

    Gardens are so full of life, I believe we draw energy from the plants and flowers.

    Gorgeous garden shop photos. I love(s) mushrooms (shown) , and gnomes (not shown), and the tree of life plaque (shown). Even photos of gardens and shopping for garden treasures is fun for me.

    Thanks for sharing!

    I love trips to the garden center. That cement mushroom is awesome. Looks like you got a good haul.

    What wonderful photos, Jen!

    I wish I could take photos at the garden centers around here, too... It's forbidden, and once I even asked when it was a calm day with just a few customers around. Nope, no chance... *sigh*

    Thus I really, really enjoyed you taking us on your garden center tour!

    Hugs,
    Birgit

    I want to take a big trip to the nursery soon but I keep waiting for our sun to arrive. :( I love looking at your plants and can almost smell them in the photos! Of course most of them don't smell but you get the idea. :)
