Garden Tour ~ 2008
Welcome to the Garden Tour, Pacific Northwest area along the Oregon Coast.
Below you will see the photos I took while touring three separate gardens. Each garden has a unique style, from tall pines overlooking the shoreline, to country gardens complete with scarecrows.
The photos are not in any particular order.
Please enjoy your stroll through each one
and be sure to sample the Rosemary Sugar Cookies I made just for you.
Here we see the sun shining through the tall pine trees

geez ... i just noticed, you already shared the recipe. sorry and thanks!
Just wonderful dear Becky...great shots of great gardens which reflect the happy spirit of the owners :)
Thanks for the lovely recipe with Rosemary...sounds delicious :)
love to get ideas from visiting gardens. I used to visit a lot of gardens from the Scottish Open Gardens Scheme but haven't had time lately. they were always the best places to get plants too.
My goodness, in one of your photos the scarecrow looks like a real person! There is one idea from your photos I would like to try and replicate, the upright box shape with plants inside. The cookies sound very interesting, I have a huge rosemary bush in my garden. I am sure you enjoyed these garden tours, I know I would have. Thanks for sharing the photos with us. x
