Garden Tour

Reed in the Round Rock Garden

We went on a garden tour today sponsored by the Travis County Master Gardeners. It was a beautiful day and a nice tour. Lorna and Reed went with even though gardens are not quite their thing. Here are some images for you to enjoy!

View of the Round Rock Garden

This Round Rock garden was a immense series of raised beds, tons of rock work and lots of evergreens. Very impressive space!

Lorna and Reed in the South Austin Found Object Garden

South Austin Found Object Garden

The owner of this South Austin garden has created a beautiful space by dumpster diving and recycling. Great imagination and lots of hard work.

Bannockburn Church Garden

Another view of the Bannockburn Church Garden

This local church has a beautiful series of gardens that are maintained by a Men's bible study. This is what I would like to do as part of my retirement for my church. First, we have to get land and a building!

Lost Creek Garden

Pool Garden at Lost Creek

This last garden in Lost Creek is a series of garden rooms done in natives. Very loose and cottage style meets hill country. They had a beautiful pool and vegetable garden.

I enjoyed seeing all the gardens. Of course, I am missing pictures of a garden inspired by French cooking which had a pool that Lorna coveted. My lovely digital camera ran out of batteries. We stopped for Mickey D's and batteries before going on the the lost creek garden. I was very impressed by all the different styles and lushness of each garden. Enjoy the pictures and check out the Flicker badge as there are more there.
