Flowers & Other Stories: Spring Gardens I Love
Flowers make me happy, how about you? In the spring, Monterey County bedazzles with a bevy of blossoms. Gardens here become a riot of color and texture, as flowers tell their stories. I love seeing the blossoms magically appear, and like turning the pages in a book, discovering all the colors and textures as each garden comes alive. Here are some of my favorite local gardens in the spring.
I love the foxgloves growing outside this stone cottage in Carmel in the spring. Cottage gardens have always pulled at my heartstrings, how about you?
The spring flowers in the gardens at the Cooper Molera Adobe in Old Monterey are breathtaking. Sweet peas make me swoon; their scent is amazing!
