Yesterday I was catching up with my friend,
Bruce Bailey, who has a fabulous nursery in Washington state and a website call Heavy Petal Nursery, and we were talking about the upcoming gardening events that we look forward to. Two that should be on every gardener's bucket list - as least those who have a passion for bulbs - is garden visit to
P Allen Smith's Moss Mountain Retreat during Daffodil Days and the
Dallas Arboretum's Dallas Blooms.
Moss Mountain Retreat:
 |
| P Allen Smith Garden Home Retreat |
 |
| Tulips and Daffodils line the walkways with color. |
 |
| Enjoy a scrumptious lunch from Allen's own recipes in this restored barn on your visit. |
 |
| And sit a spell on the front porch to just enjoy the view. |
 |
| Enjoy a walk through the woods to visit Allen's farm animals. |
 |
| Allen rode up to meet us at the house on his bicycle! |
 |
| Feb. 22 - March 23 - Daffodil Days at Moss Mountain Retreat |
And the Dallas Arboretum:
 |
| March 2 - April 7 |
 |
| The blooming forsythia, and other bushes, vines, and trees are a breathtaking display that frames the blooming fields of bulbs. |
 |
| The container plantings were stunning and I loved the simplicity of this bowl of gerber daisies. |
 |
| The azaleas are worth the trip alone! |
