A Special Weekend For Garden Tours!

It's been a busy week of pruning and polishing in preparation for Sunday's Hooper Area Community Foundation Garden Tour. I am very grateful to the Bopps, Wobkens and O'Connor-Rupperts for allowing their gardens to be included in the Foundation tour. Their gardens are beautiful and you are in for a real treat! We hope you will join us on Sunday from 11 to 4. Tickets are $10.00 and are available on the day of the tour at our home.

If you are looking for a full weekend of beautiful blooms and inspiring gardens, Main Street Fremont is also holding their Garden Walk on Saturday from 10 to 3. Main Street's tour includes six gardens in Fremont and the stunning garden at the May Museum. Tickets are $15.00 and include lunch at the Clarence and Hope Mock garden. I will see you there!!

Watch the blog next week for highlights of the garden tours!

Determination

There is a life lesson here! Where there is a will, there is a way.

This little Mexican Flame Vine crawled through the smallest crack in the potting shed window and is blooming beautifully inside. Maybe it wanted it's own special view of the rose garden??

Which of your life's lessons does this make you recall?

Beauty And The Beast

There is no fragrance like a Plumeria- another unexpected treasure in our prairie garden!

It's time to declare war on the grasshoppers! For an environmentally friendly solution try Semaspore. In lieu of a very technical explanation....we call it the grasshopper disease. Semaspore comes in the form of a bran that the grasshoppers eat. It works best on the smaller 'hoppers' so now is the time to apply the bran. If you need a source for Semaspore send me an email.
