I decided to share my favorite photo from my vacation and it has grown into seven. I am not one to take photos of my food, but on this occasion it seemed something that I must do. You see, the kitchen brought a bit of the garden to the table and it was as beautifully done as the garden itself.
From Garden to Table
This dessert was so delightful that we wished that we had not shared it. We wished that we had each consumed our own.
Lavender and Lemon Pound Cake
The colors in the private garden were amazing and it gives you a glimpse of the overall feeling of the entire garden. It is so thoughtful that the tourists can only peek into this area.
Jennie Butchart’s Private Garden
All the colors continue throughout the sunken garden.
Sunken Garden
Those colors that came to our table, must have been inspired with the dahlia garden in mind.
Dahlia Garden and Bees
Another favorite of mine, was the begonia garden, as it reminded me of Antonelli Brothers Begonia Gardens when I was a child in Santa Cruz, CA.
Beautiful Begonia
This is the stairway leading to the overlook in the sunken garden. I realize that I seem stuck on this place, but the colors, those wonderful colors, remain with you for days after you have visited. With Fall in the air, those colors make me look forward to Spring.
Sunken Garden Stairs
I hope you enjoyed this mini tour. Have a splendid weekend and go out and drink in the colors that you find, they’re everywhere!
