Went with some friends to the San Antonio Botanical Garden last weekend, first time I've seen it since I was a kid. Beautiful day.
The garden for the blind is supposed to be all about the other senses (root beer scented hoja santa leaves, fuzzy geraniums), but the visual foliage combos were pretty striking.
Love the way water pools up in the center of bromeliads in the rainforest-y exhibit.
Firework fern spilled over the stairs leading up to the desert garden
One of my favorite exhibits was the front yard demos. One little mini house had a typical suburban lawn with annuals. Another subbed in zoysia grass for St. Augustine and waterwise plants for the annuals. Another went total wildscape.
I may have to steal this path idea for my garden.
Children's vegetable garden. Wish my grown-up veggies looked this great!
Rose garden.
