Today is done and so is our garden. We walked off the show floor after 7pm and are so happy with the final result. A small crew will go back in the morning to finish the final “once over” and then we wait. Judging will start after 12pm and we will get to see the results starting at 5:30pm. Here is what our day looked like.
-
Our morning started with brining in more flowers.
-
The garden is ready for the sod to come in. The rock ledges got a good sweeping first.
-
Laying the sod.
-
The back of the garden doesn't have anything behind it so we put some lovely plants there so it wouldn't look empty.
-
Check out that Rill!!! Can't you just see that in your garden?

We have a limited color pallet this year.

About 3pm the show producers turned the lights down to start working on lighting each garden. This was the first time we saw the garden in proper light. We worked with the lighting crew to fine tune the lights. It looks fabulous!
