Getting Ready for Our Plant Sale

Yesterday and today I am in the Learning Garden getting ready for our sale this weekend. We get a lot of donations from folks in the community, so the selection is always varied. In past years I obsessed about whether we had enough plants. Every year, it works out. So I am not getting too worked up this year....am I getting wiser as I get older?!?!
After things were set up yesterday I walked around the garden with the camera. The Rhododendrons are starting to pop like popcorn. Each one is a new favorite as I walk through the Rhododendron section........




From the Rhodie section I went past our trellises that have lots of blooms.




The Chionanthus virginicus is in bloom for the sale...always a bonus!


And one of the Amsonia...


The various Aquilegia are also showing off-


Azaleas are also putting on a great show at this time... Beautiful settings...full of color.


One of my favorite azaleas is Rhododendron 'White Rosebud' ('Kehr's White rosebud')



I finished my walk through the Shade Garden... love the combination of foliage contrasts. Tradescantia 'Sweet Kate' Spider wort and Polygontum odoratum 'Variegatum' Solomon's Seal.



HAPPY MAY!!!!
