Mary Washington House 2009

Thursday was the first meeting of the year for our group of volunteer gardeners at the Mary Washington House. It is such a pleasure to be a part of this group. Our meeting was mostly organizational and planning. We did, after some tasty snacks, make our way outside.

Things bloom earlier in this garden than in mine. Here, the crocus are already in bloom...





A hyacinth was also blooming...


The strawberries over in Mary's vegetable garden promise lots of sweet fruit in the future...



A tree peony rescued by H the Horticulturist who has worked her magic with it and it now has a happy home...


Some camera fun...I can't resist...


I'll end with this odd shot...lots of shadows for midday...in an area that will burst into bloom shortly...


We'll be back for another look in a month or so...

Cool, those crocus look beautiful. I'm still longing for mine to send out buds. Ah! The blue Hyacinths - aren't they heavenly!

It's good for a gardener's soul to get together with other like-minded people :)
Lovely seeing the spring bloomers!

Hi Chandramouli....it's still early for this garden, but I'm always amazed at just how different a garden can be...just a short distance away...

It is, Kerri, you're so right!
