July 4: Martie and Steve’s garden, Oysterville

Wednesday, 4 July, part one

We toured four gardens on July 4 with Ann, Evan, and Paul (those links go to each of their blogs), and I am publishing the whole tour today, but broken down into each garden so the posts will not be terribly long.  This is sort of what it would be like if you were actually touring with us in real time. So buckle up and don’t forget to bring a snack and to hydrate!

Martie and Steve’s Garden

Our day of touring four gardens began at Martie and Steve’s garden in Oysterville.

Many photos were taken.

Schefflera. (I am so happy Ann brought me one from Cistus.)
