June 2020: Nursery and Garden visits

On June 6, my garden club organized a trip to three nurseries in PA -Seasons Past Nursery and Farm, Gettysburg Gardens, Hosta Hideaway. Usually my husband is not involved in my garden activities. However, during this pandemic my husband accompanied me on my garden outings as I love company during the long drives. The drive to Seasons Past Nursery on a winding, tree-lined scenic byway proved pleasing.

On June 28, my garden organized a tour of three private gardens in Baltimore County. Karen Offut's garden originally designed by Oehme Van Sweden, Carol Warner who runs Draycott Gardens, a specialty iris nursery, and Thompson's garden filled with antique ornaments and sculptures.
