Perhaps coneflowers don't do well in your area, but you have so many other beautiful flowers!<br /><br />Racquel, There was a picture in the program of the two dogs sitting the chairs--so cute:)<br /><br />Wendy, June has flown by! Your grandsons would love the trains.<br /><br />Beckie, I had a great time, too and was so impressed by Granddaughter--she's a future gardener for sure.<br /><br />Sylvana, Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Neva, The walk takes place only once a year, so I was determined to go no matter how hot. I've been in the President's house once, but never outside. And yes, this post took a long time:)<br /><br />Frances, I'm glad you don't mind my chatting:) It was too hard to break this into two posts.<br /><br />Dawn, I have enough Christmas ideas for several years:)<br /><br />Suburbia, I come home from these walks with serious garden envy. Do get some rest; hope your Mum is doing ok.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-84866302467054207912009-06-30T16:57:50.560-05:002009-06-30T16:57:50.560-05:00Oh my goodness, how beautiful.

It was just liking being with you and Beckie and her grandaughter, you are so good at chatting with us. All the gardens were wonderful and there were ideas galore in just these shots of it. Hope you were writing down the things you liked best as well. :-)<br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-55235168320031045752009-06-30T08:24:50.485-05:002009-06-30T08:24:50.485-05:00Thanks for sharing your walk!

I am impressed with all the photos you uploaded.....that must have taken you a LONG time! I enjoyed all the gardens.....makes me realize I have a long way to go! My coneflowers are ALMOST blooming and I did plant a hydrangea.Annabelle...in my garden this year. I will see how it does. I have a very good friend who is a Master Gardener..I guess I am just not that dedicated but she sure has a wonderful garden as do you. <br />And if it was as hot where you are last week as it was here.....I am super impressed that you did this!Nevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601316661181297640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-53975542333674504852009-06-29T22:22:01.691-05:002009-06-29T22:22:01.691-05:00I really like that bench too.

Lots of good photos and a little of all we saw. Granddaughter and I enjoyed the time spent with you and I know she felt very grownup discussing the different gardens with us.<br /><br />I had planned on doing a post Sun. eve after hubby and the grands left, but it was so nice out. I did more mulching and it felt great to be out and not melt. <br /><br />Thanks again for such a fun day!beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400859161321357279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-91226144942899719992009-06-29T19:33:38.661-05:002009-06-29T19:33:38.661-05:00Wow!

The little blue chairs were so cute and I really really liked the train!! May steal that idea for one of my grandsons.<br /><br />The coneflowers are pretty, the lily absolutely gorgeous.

The mirror is a convex mirror, really pretty with the cool blue of the pool reflected in it. We got an early start to the day to avoid as much of the heat as possible.<br /><br />Gail, I had been looking forward to this walk for some time, so I wasn't going to let the heat deter me. Lots of sunscreen and water!<br /><br />Susie, The outdoor room with the fireplace was gorgeous, but I don't think we'd use it much in the summer either...although a pool would be nice:) <br /><br />Janet, Whenever Beckie and I get to visit the Idea Garden again, I'll do a post. It's an amazing place.<br /><br />Carol, You know, I never looked to see how the gardener got inside:) When I saw it, though, I thought of you. I know this post was very long, but I couldn't figure out what to delete!<br /><br />Tina, The last garden was just amazing. So many shrubs and plants, I couldn't do it justice here. <br /><br />Monica, I'm with you! By the end of the day Saturday, my clothes were sticking to me, and my contacts burned from the sweat dripping into my eyes:)<br /><br />Robin, I do enjoy these garden walks. I usually come home with at least one idea that I use in my garden.<br /><br />Marnie, I agree. I'm not very creative, so my best use of accents in the garden come from other people--I'm pretty good at copying:)<br /><br />Flydragon, Glad you enjoyed the tour. I'm sure your living room was much cooler:)<br /><br />Liz, The Annabelles are hydrangeas, and they are just beautiful. A lot of homes here use them as a border in front of their house--that's a vision I have for mine someday. A pool and a fireplace do seem contradictory, don't they?:)<br /><br />Cindy, we would have loved for you to join us!

My friends and I also went on a garden walk this Saturday, which I'll post about later this week.
