HAPPY SPRING, EVERYONE!
Sunday, March 11, 2012
This is my friend, Nita's summer garden. If you missed Part 1 featuring her cherry blossoms this spring you may view here. Nita and her husband laid all the brick flooring themselves in a bed of sand over gravel. They did hire a brick mason to build the great fireplace.
Our Garden Club toured Nita's garden last fall but where we live it is still summer weather.
Several people commented on the ivy trellis in the previous post. If you look back on the previous post here you will see the ivy has grown since this picture. To train the ivy to grow in a pattern, mortor nails fastened wire in place for the ivy to form this beautiful pattern.

To give you some idea of how multi- talented Nita is click here to view her flower arranging skills.
Nita, We have enjoyed touring your spring and summer gardens. Thank you for graciously sharing with us.

Enjoy a stroll through my friend Nita's garden. You are in for a treat.
I can truly say my pictures do not do this beautiful garden justice.
Allée of cherry trees that were bought marked snowgoose white cherry.
But, we can clearly see they are beautiful pink cherry blossoms.
Nita is a master gardener and floral designer. Her interior decorating skills are also top notch. She has lived in Europe and traveled to many interesting places. Her home is elegantly decorated with many antique pieces and lovely collections.
Very soon this area will be bursting with many large potted plants. Lemon trees, ivy topiaries, and rose standards to name a few are lush and beautiful. It is a little early to bring them out.
She bought this attractive tablerunner in Provence.
Her family and friends enjoy pleasant evenings sitting by the fire in season and enjoying the garden when a fire is not needed. Her terrace is truly a beautiful retreat.

Aren't the dogs cute! I couldn't resist taking their pictures too!
Stay tuned next week for her summer garden. Here is a preview pic.
This is my friend Nita, with her precious and adorable new grandaughter!
Thank you Nita for sharing your beautiful garden with us!
