Arija's Summer Garden

I thought I'd give you an update on my gardening activities.
A week ago I had a group from New Zealand come tour my garden. The weather co-operated and we had a wonderful tour. A couple of "Kiwis" even informed me that viewing my garden was the highlight of their visit to CT.
Last Saturday I had an opportunity to visit Louis Raymond's garden in Hopkinton, RI. It certainly was not the run of the mill garden. Hopefully we may have him as a club speaker sometime next year, although he does "speak Latin" ...
Last Sunday I entered the CT Rose Society's annual Rose Show in Hartford and walked away with 11 (eleven) ribbons, three of them were blue. Not shabby, I'd say.
Too bad the Club doesn't meet during the summer. There's so many gardening activities to share.
Hope your gardening activities are off to an equally good start.
