Summer Garden Tour

Welcome.  My garden gate is  always open for you to come into the garden to sit and relax.  I am home recovering from knee replacement surgery and have not been able to get into my garden to take photos. I added some new photos taken before surgery to last years post and am re-posting with the new photos.

Bentley, Studio Assistant, is waiting to welcome you and assist with the tour.

Back patio off kitchen with new "faux" painted flag stones.  This is where I have my morning tea and grow herbs and tomatoes in pots.

Love grouping vintage bird houses.

My small space garden is divided into "rooms" and each year I like to change things around by moving the furniture,pillows, and  adding new vintage items, different flowers, etc. This year I used the blue theme pillows as compared to last year when I used the red and added a red check bed skirt.

                                      Last years's red for a totally different look.

Last year "Blossom", my garden scare crone was all dressed up for the garden tour wearing her red Wellington boots and special apron  that my sister Leslie made for her. 

This year "Blossom" is dressed in a red apron!

My vintage Rocket bicycle has been newly planted planted with red Geraniums and a few assorted flowers.

This is a little eating area for outdoor dining.  This year I added coastal cottage elements to the summer garden with seas shells and signs.

This is the sitting area right off my front porch.  I use old rugs in the garden to define the rooms - the beautiful weather in Southern California  allows me to leave the rugs out for months. My cushions are all outdoor fabrics and have held up very well over the years.

This is my "kitchen garden" as it is located off the kitchen through French Doors and is a perfect place to grow herbs and a few vegetables (all in containers) for cooking and to sit and have morning tea.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my little garden tour.  I love hearing from you and sincerely appreciate your visits, e-mails, comments, and those of you who follow my blog.

Have a lovely week.  Blessings,  Erin
