An early morning, quiet visit to Tony Avent’s open house at Plant Delights Nursery and surrounding gardens of Juniper Level Botanic Gardens, inspired me to evaluate my plant pallet. Before I knew it, my early morning was late morning and I was late for an appointment. The lingering was worth it. It was the perfect morning to admire the gardens. These scenes were my inspiration.
If you get a chance, check out Juniper Level Botanic Gardens for yourself; it’s totally worth it.
