Kimba at A Soft Place to Land is having a Garden Party. I thought I would participate since we have been working so hard in the yard for the reception.
Here is the shaded part of the yard. It is more in my hubby's machine shed, cattle hauling area. We will be parking the cars in this area. Each year I add a few more hostas with the future plans to be a spot full of hostas of all shades and sizes.
Front of your home, might be using some of the yellow day lilies in the reception flowers.
View from my back door.
the flowers are starting to bloom. I really want the garden phlox to bloom. I keep telling it each time I pass, "bloom, phlox, bloom!" I don't think it is listening. This is the flower we were planning to use quite a bit in all the arrangements, it is so pretty and has a beautiful scent.
Another view - had to brighten it quite a bit.
Your gardens are fantastic. Love all the color. Having just done an outdoor wedding at my brothers house. I hope you have as good weather and as wonderful time as we did. Best of Luck.
