Not the best of pictures, but you get the idea:
We're heading back to the hotel now. It's been fun, hasn't it? Special thanks to the Garretts for all their hard work...and a beautiful garden. If you missed any of the previous four gardens, you can find them here or under the Labels list. Day One didn't end with the gardens...oh no...back at the hotel, the Boutique was open with daylily themed things for sale. Then there was a very informative and interesting Rust Forum. After the forum, it was back to our rooms to get ready for dinner. The time just flies by and before you know it, it's time to hit the sack for a bit of rest before that early morning breakfast buffet and another day of gardens.
Stay tuned for Day Two with four more gardens...
