The Gardening Cook is Part of a 12 Garden Hop

by Carol Speake - The Gardening Cook

I love garden tours. They give you a great chance to see what other creative gardeners have done with their outdoor spaces.
My test garden has been featured in a 12 garden hop by a great group of ladies on Facebook that discuss gardening and share and promote each other.
The hop was organized by Barb Rosen of Our Fairfield Home and Garden.
I have updated my garden tour to include several new photos with close up images of the plants that are at their best right now.
You can also see many more photos at: http://thegardeningcook.com/12-garden-hop/

Great way to hide that fence by planting a beautiful flowerbed in front of it, Carol!

Love the soft yellow glads, just whish they were hardier so we didn't have to lift them in the fall here.
