Granada's Garden Tour

We all met at GHFC and listened to the expert talk about planting succulents. His cute assistant kept the photo slides going on the screen. Phillip answered questions, was funny and remembered people's names. :-)
Then Abby and Philip put together 3 pots of succulents to give away as door prizes.
My friends, Mary & Pati, whom I teach with, went together with me from house to house visiting gardens and being inspired. Look at the cool baskets in this yard! The homeowner has a garden business called "The Blessed Gardener." She sells these and puts flowers in for people with black thumbs. We also dropped in on Mary Taylor. She graciously showed us around her lovely home and beautiful backyard. After visiting yards, we had a delicious lunch at The California Grill.
Here are P & A in their little oasis they've created in the backyard next door to Robin & David's house. It's full of potted succulents, bamboo, ferns & other lush plants.
This is the wall next to the bathroom wall. The large pot is a fountain to help drown out the traffic noises. Haven't they done a wonderful job?

Yes, they've done a wonderful job, and we're going to miss them when they move! Thanks for the garden tour report! Nice to hear how it went and about your brilliant son and his cute assistant! :-)
