Catching Up

June 26th was Mukilteo's day for the Snohomish Master Gardener's tour. Our garden was on the tour. It went wonderfully. After 2 weeks of intensive prep that followed 9 months of general to specific work, the garden looked incredible. About 150 people came through. The comments were very similar: Peaceful, tranquil, whimsical (yea!), lovely, restful, etc. We directed guests around the house so they could be surprised by the view toward the end rather then the beginning. It was very gratifying not only in people's reactions but in answering questions and actually teaching and passing on knowledge. It was a perfect day!
