Some had antiques...
...and quaint old sheds covered in ivy.
And swings..
of course.
No garden is complete...
without somewhere to sit.
And I found lots of great places!
Around a fire...
...beside a pool
...and in a backyard tent.
Every garden had a water feature of some kind it seemed.
Some had fish.
Some had fish.
Then there were the birds...
...big and small
...strutting or sitting!
Maybe even a llama!

Rotary Garden Tour 2012.
I managed to take you on a garden tour without flowers!
But let me throw in a few...
just because.
Happy Canada Day!
Have a delightful weekend...hope that sun is prominently featured! My favorite garden element is the old tractor. Wonderful!
ReplyDelete(We were promised sun today, which has now been changed to rain. We awoke to pouring rain and so we have not yet achieved two consecutive days of sun in weeks.)
Wonderful garden features. If I could I would pass you and Vee some of our lovely sunshine here in OK but, you would have to take the temps along with it. 105* yesterday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blog site! Thank you for featuring our Chilliwack Rotary Club's Garden Tour - I enjoyed greeting people at one of those ten gardens - the one with the old Shell station and all the fabulous farm antiques tucked amidst flowers... Thank you, Grace and Henry, for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteI often find that the structure and decoration of a garden is just as interesting or even more interesting than the flowers - so this post suited me just fine! A garden tour is such a good way to find out what's behind a high hedge and to get some inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous garden room, and I didn't miss the flowers at all. Favorite space was the one with the white curlicue wire chairs/glass top table. Love looking at the peacock too...pretty sure I'd feel differently about the bird at 4am when they begin their calls.
ReplyDeleteWish our area had such a fabulous garden tour.
I heard from someone else that they had a great time at the tour. I love your photos and your celebratory blog template for Canada Day!
ReplyDeletePretty header... And pretty garden pictures. Looks like a wonderful day to spend the day...especially with your sisters!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great tour and it looks like you stayed dry! Happy Canada Day to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day to you!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics of beautiful gardens in a beautiful country!!
That looks like fun! And a nice way to spend time with sisters!
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures and what a great post! And, Happy Canada Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day Judy. I enjoyed seeing the landscaping and outdoor rooms. Here there are a lot of old tractors that form display pieces in people's yards. I think I'd rather have a pool though!
ReplyDeleteA belated Happy Canada Day, Judy! I enjoyed this tour and was amazed by the large peacock and the sight of the lama! With all the hot weather we are having here this year I wish I had a seat by that pretty pool ..lol!
