Yesterday I had the delight of visiting three of the five gardens featured on Omni’s Peace Garden Tour 2009. How fun to get to see what other passionate gardeners are doing! My first stop was Ed L.’s lovely home and woodland garden site in South Fayetteville. It’s like a fairytale cottage in a forest…only it’s right in the city. One of my favorite details is the vine with variagated foliage over the front entrance. I’d never seen such a light and airy vine growing in significant shade. Ed told me it’s a variagated porcelain vine. (You can see a close up of the leaf by clicking the image below.) Other great things at Ed’s included a cute garden shed built from reclaimed materials and a tiny water garden on the deck.
Enjoy this mini gallery of more delights from Ed’s place:
Next on the tour, Marie R’s art-filled shade garden in Fayetteville’s historic district…
