The 2009 Summer Garden Tour begins...

It's been thunder storming all the past week here in the biggest little city, so it's hard for me to think "Summer" today. Let's take look at some summertime gardens and creative outdoor ideas and I bet summer returns here soon..We'll begin at the Country nest, where we'll see our first Donna's wonderful garden!

Next, it's on over to our second Donna's charming little back porch and see her set up!

How wonderful was that?! We've got to meander on over to Joanna's yard and see what is in store to inspire us all....It makes me want to get out there and start planting!

And now, on to Mandy, the herbgirl's blog, for some exciting and unique ideas! Look at what she has done with shells...I love it!!! (And just you wait till you see her use of plates in planters and the garden!)

How cool is that?!
Here is a little sneak peek of things to come in the next post...

It's my son-in-law's handiwork and re-using an old chopped up patio he unearthed in their backyard re-do...(pretty spectacular, don't you agree?) Oh, and I'll be taking the photos of my summer time display today (and I am hoping for sunshine!) and I'll be sharing that next post as well!
