....until it's this time of year again. As an aspiring gardener, there are wonderful and amazing ideas and design tips to steal this weekend of the year. Yes, and appreciate other gardeners too. I can't remember if this is my fifth or sixth year attending the gardens. Each year does not disappoint. Unfortunately, the only one disappointed is my mom. I hate that the event falls on Mother's Day weekend which makes it impossible to do both. I've invited her to participate each year but the opportunity has not happened. Luckily we saw each other a few weeks ago.
