June Garden Tour at Vickie's!

Our June meeting had us at Vickie's home for a lovely garden tour!   We thought the rain was going to dampen our spirits but the clouds broke and the sun came out right at meeting time!  It was wonderful!   (click on any picture to enlarge!)


Super-cute area greets you as you enter the backyard.
 
 Vickie's husband Jim built the many obelisks around the yard.
 
 
Can you tell what this item was in it's former life?  A shower caddy!

Lovely cement pond complete with koi that never need feeding!
 
The veggie garden is just getting started, behind Pat, Ruth and Debbie.
 
Vickie's wonderful herb garden!
 
 
 
The white picket fence gives the whole backyard such a cottage feeling!

Diana and Deb enjoying the tour!  
 
Vickie's infamous "voodoo plant!"  Check out the spotted stem and how the foliage forms a circle!   (Vickie will put a spell on you if you're not careful!)


Lots of brick pathways and sections that gave the whole backyard the impression of different rooms.
 
Pat has found something that sparks her interest.

And wants to show everyone!  :)
 
Stacked wood ready for cool nights on the patio.
 
 
 
 
Lots of pretty blooming perennials!
 
Vickie has quite a sophisticated rain-barrel system and even her potting area is very organized and neat!
 
Just Beautiful!  Thanks for the Tour Vickie!
