2008 AHS National Convention: Garden Four

Here we are now at the fourth garden (of five) that we'll see today, Day One, on our tour. It is the garden of Eddie and Mary Gage. This is a sales garden, so the daylilies are laid out in a very orderly kind of way. The tags were very easy to see and you'll note that for yourself in some of the pictures that follow. You may also see a few daylilies that we've seen before...however, it is always good to see how a daylily does in different environments and for different growers.

Let's get moving!


Need to make a wish?


I know, I know the daylilies are calling, so we'll get started with those...but stand by, there are some cute 'other' things to see here, too:
