The garden has over five acres of azaleas and trees that have nice walking trails and benches among them. About 2/3 of the bushes were in bloom giving a beautiful show. If we can work it into our schedule, I'd like to go back next week when the garden should be at its peak.
As for the weeds around our azaleas? I kind of like the natural look I saw at the gardens yesterday. Maybe I'll leave the weeds alone and see if I can get the same "natural" effect here. : )

It looks so lovely and sunny :) Enjoy the spring.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice weather. Warm in the sun and cool in the shade. How is fall for you?
DeleteYou really DID have a good weekend. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, we did. We were commenting on that last night.
DeleteBesides wandering through the azaleas, we also had a good hike in the woods along the water. Worked up enough of a sweat, that it counted for my walk for the day.
Beautiful azaleas! And I love the poem at the end. I'm glad you remembered these gardens and could take the time to go see them in spring.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteWhat a beautiful walk that must have been!
ReplyDeleteIt was beautiful and even though there were several people there, we almost felt like we had the place to ourselves.
DeleteI really miss seeing Florida azaleas! Thanks for sharing. Here, we've gone from white to green seemingly within 24 hours and our trees are finally starting to bud. I think Spring is here!
ReplyDeleteI hope spring is finally there for you. Ours was slow to arrive this year and I had a hard time waiting for it. You must have to have a lot of patience where you live.
DeleteBeautiful! Looks like it was a lovely day. Hope you manage to get there for the repeat visit.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely day. However, we didn't find a sheep skeleton on our walk.
DeleteI always wondered what azaleas were! They're gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm all for any gardening strategy that allows you to ignore the weeds!
I didn't realize that azaleas did grow everywhere. The biggest problem we have with growing them here is that they are a favorite of the deer.
DeleteOh I envy you the spring, we in the autumn here in Australia, and I miss all the beautiful flowers of spring and summer :(
ReplyDeleteWhile I love the beautiful colors of the fall, I like the spring better too.
DeleteThe fall is colourful, and no hay fever is a bonus, but spring is best. Enjoy!
DeleteUnfortunately, there are several things that bloom in the fall that cause allergy problems for my family. But it's all beautiful.
