Garden Houses

 
Posted by Picasa

I am really on a garden kick now! After touring the lovely gardens, large and small, in Williamsburg, I have a renewed sense of purpose in my own garden!! What an inspiration!

One of the things I dearly love are Garden Houses. In my plan for the Secret Garden, I have included one. At this point, it would be a playhouse for "The Ladies" - later, a potting shed for me. I have been looking for a plan to build and think that one of these might be just the ticket!

A Vacation Back In Time

 

 

 


Last week I went on a brief vacation with my husband to Williamsburg, VA. It had been many years since I had been there, and I had forgotten what a lovely and interesting place it is. I went on garden tours and heard a speech from none other than George Washington, himself. The pictures above are of the Governor's Palace and the surrounding Palace Gardens. I did not know that Colonial Williamsburg was restored by John D. Rockefeller and is the only restored colonial town in America. If you get a chance, visit! You will not be disappointed!
