August Garden Tour

Summer is coming to an end, sadly.
We had a lot of rain in Gaspé, 
(Eastern Canada) this summer;
considering our short summers 
and a planting zone of 5a;
my flowers did very well.
Most of my flowers are perennials.
Join me on a tour of  "My August Garden"


Duchess of Portland Roses

A Tiny Garden ~ made from broken pots.
I did a blog post earlier this year
when I made this Tiny Garden.
It has grown over the summer.

Hollyhocks

The peach ones are called "Peaches "n" Dreams"
I planted it last yr. and it's first blossoms this yr.
The black one I've had for 10 yrs.

A bouquet made with Hostas flowers




Coral Bells ~I love their color ~



A Rusty Old Stove


Pink flamingos under the Weeping Willow Tree.

I cherish these 
homemade wooden flamingos 
they were a gift from an elderly couple
 that I took care of in a Seniors Home.

A nice poem:

╰⊰⊹✿"The brightest sun ~ the softest shade...
This is where my thoughts are made...
A small stone bridge ~ a clean, clear stream...
This is where I come to dream.
Where butterflies speak to summer flowers,
And birds chatter freely from lofty bowers...
From the soft green grass at the water's edge,
To the deep cool forest beyond the hedge...
This is where my heart feels free...
This is where I come to be me."✿⊹⊱╮
