Mother's Day, 2010. Trip to Annie's Annuals & Perennials

Annie's Annuals & Perennials 2010 Mother's Day plant sale and celebration. Mom's got a free 4" plant! Lovely weather, lovely refreshments, and lovely company.


Just beyond this flowerbed is the "Bored spouses and boyfriends" table. ;-)


Magical.


Hypertufa containers. Hypertufa workshop/party is on my to-do list.




Kim and me.


Poppies and penstemon. Fabulous combo.


Wowsa.


After Annie's, we stopped at Annie's propagator's nearby open garden.










Clever use of an old pallet!












Heading home. Lunch consisted of delicious El Pollo Loco eaten in the car in front of the open garden. Great day.

  3. I loved the idea of recycled pallet - lovely small vertical garden. Recycling things make the wste load on the planet so much less... Great photos! Thanks for sharing,

    I have never heard of that until today. I've got to look that up and find out what it is. Thank you.

  10. I think the use of the old pallet is brilliant! I'd love to see a mature one - a green living wall! I'm on a look out for a suitable pallet to have a go with I'm thinking strawberries plants in the top?
