I absolutely love plant nurseries and could spend all day in them! You have the best ones there - such amazing plants and wonderful garden things. I just love those colorful painted pots.

I think I would have been happier in FL if there had been little places like this around that I could have visited. It just takes me back to my young married days when my father was in that business. Later on my husband and his brother bought the garden center and those years were such a special time. It was like a magical place. I hope you can figure out a way to put up shade cloth. That's another thing I loved about our garden center, the shade cloth made it kind of a mysterious place to garden under. Anything to help keep you and your plants out of summer's blistering heat that will be there soon!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-89601449214587526242017-05-21T01:14:49.652-04:002017-05-21T01:14:49.652-04:00PS... you did great with your camera!!PS... you did great with your camera!!BeachGypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200510017404641217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-80282665550066206692017-05-21T01:12:56.169-04:002017-05-21T01:12:56.169-04:00I loved visiting this amazing garden center with y...I loved visiting this amazing garden center with you!!-- thanks for sharing it!

Of course, our outdoor nurseries are only open about 4 months out of the year because of the cold and danger of freezing.<br /><br />I think it is just wonderful that you have friends like that to include you and make you feel like family now that your hubby is gone. That is really special and I know that you are blessed by that relationship.<br /><br />I think it is funny that you both told him you wanted that same thing- the fountain area! <br /><br />Blessings to you and I hope you have a wonderful, enjoyable weekend. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-66151451125054019572017-05-20T09:33:28.910-04:002017-05-20T09:33:28.910-04:00That certainly is an amazing nursery.

Then it suddenly went bankrupt and we've not found one to replace the pleasure we had in our visits...<br /><br />I really like the arrangement you're assembling. Can't wait to see the final (is ANYthing final) product! <br /><br />After a few almost-perfect days (weather-wise), the temps dropped yesterday and it's only 49 degrees this morning! Rain in forecast so our much-needed mulching is postponed again. It's almost too late since many of our plants are grown enough to cover the exposed spots. Oh, well.<br /><br />Looking forward to dinner out with my hubby this noon as my father will be attending a birthday party for one of his great-grandchildren. Hope you have a fine weekend, Lorraine. ♥Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-67312882954874336522017-05-19T21:21:00.209-04:002017-05-19T21:21:00.209-04:00That garden centre is beautiful and so full of int...That garden centre is beautiful and so full of interesting things.Ruth Hieberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260132564992492524noreply@blogger.com
