Garden Festival!

June 30th last I attended the Mallow Garden Festival a lovely event for gardeners with show gardens on view and plenty of plants and gardening supplies to purchase,seminars were also provided by experts in the field of gardening.The weather was good to us for the whole day although following days were not so good.
 This garden called "Reflections"won 1st prize,that is my reflection at the end of the rectangle taking the pic,I am in a pink jacket!


 Lots of this type of statuary visible on a few gardens,added to the overall feel of the show gardens!




 Sister Peggy was involved with her fellow allotmenteers in developing this garden showing how to grow your own veg,and how to have happy hens laying regularly too.

 A crafty pair of owls!
 Angela who provided everyone with a nice cuppa on the day,suitably dressed in her floral wellies and apron!


 Sister Peggy advising and answering questions on having your own allotment,her blog www.organicgrowing pains.blogspot.com tells of the highs and lows of same!
Plenty of stock to purchase!

    Were the owls alive? It all looks very beautiful. Many gardens around here have a 'fried' look. Thanks for taking us along.
