Wordless Wednesday (Almost) - Rural Gardens of Grey and Bruce Counties pt. 4

I promised I would post more garden photos today. After lunch at the Great Books & Cafe at the old Williamsford Mill, we headed to My Heart is in it. We made a few wrong turns so we had to get instructions but it was worth the drive out into the country to see these beautiful gardens. There is lots to see here. Here are some examples from our visit. Edith was our guide throughout the extensive gardens.

Our last stop was Grange Hollow Gardens and Nursery. It was get near closing so we only had a short time to lok areound.

Wordless Wednesday (Almost) - Rural Gardens of Grey and Bruce Counties

Yesterday and today, my sister, Nancy and her friend Marie and I went on our 3rd Annual Tour of rural gardens in Grey and Bruce Counties. This year our focus was northern part of Grey County. For more on this organization visit Rural Gardens. Most of the gardens are at private homes. Some provide sales of items. The entry fee is usually $3 or $4. Each one is very different.

Here is a sample from each of the gardens that we visited yesterday. At two we were given personal tours by the owners. We certainly appreciated them taking the time to talk to us about their gardens.
