The Gardening Girls and I headed South, in April, to enjoy the
Cassina Garden Club's Garden Walk, on Saint Simons Island, Georgia.
This year's tour had six fabulous garden's. I took so many pictures,
that I am going to share them in several blog posts.
I am going to start out with the house they called
The Village Bungalow
Home of one of the Island’s “tree spirits", discover a tranquil garden
which provides an "outdoor room" and beckons all who enter the property.
Nestled in “The Village” of St. Simons, this garden captivates visitors
with the exacting attention to detail and the charming utilization of space
in this compact garden. Stroll through this property to find a plethora
of whimsical birdhouses created by the homeowner,
a potting shed that is both delightful and practical,
and an abundant herb garden. This garden and home provided
the backdrop to the film "Christmas on the Coast",
and will provide further enjoyment to all who experience it!*
This tree spirit welcomed us!
Love this patio area!
One of the owner's many bird houses.
Many ideas for container gardens were on the tour.
You can find little bits of humor around every corner!
I wish we had time to sit a spell.
Tucked in this corner was an outdoor grill ready for the hamburgers!
Even the grill area is beautifully landscaped!
A great sun room was inside this house. Look at those pillows!
Most of the homes do not let you go inside, but this one let
us walk through the main level. I am so glad they did!
This floor plan was open with the kitchen, living and dining all
in one area. The sun room was off the living area.
Such a nice coastal feel in the dining area.
Heading back outside we found a swing with more great pillows!
Herbs ready for cooking!
Of course on the island you would have a "Shrimp" plant, it is
the one on the back left.
I love this potting shed. What a great collection of pottery vases!
Another view of the potting shed.
You also need a place to keep your gardening tools!
This spot was called the plant hospital. When plants need special
attention they visit here for awhile.
Fence decorating!
Everywhere you look there is something unique.
Another spot to sit, rest and reflect on God's beauty.
These fabulous window boxes end our tour.
I loved this home and garden the best, so I started our tour with it.
But I will be back soon, to show you the rest of the wonderful gardens.
