The Garden Show

Welcome to Bob's Garden!

The famous picket fence that identifies our house.

Judy came to help me hostess the event

Everyone loves the front until they see the back.
It always takes them my surprise!

Foxgloves are one of my personal favorites.
They remind me of lovely ladies standing and having a little chat together.

Follow the path to the back....

Our first guests arrived

This gorgeous butterfly flitted around all afternoon!

The guest book.
Bob's garden book was featured with it and was a big hit.

The Man of the Hour
Bob spent 9 hours greeting guests and answering questions about gardening!

Sophia raked in the tips with her lemonade stand.

There were about 700 tourists

The darling of the day

Popping in to see the cottage.

I connected Laura with ladies who have vintage goodies in their homes for future reference.

Tickets please.
Lawrence the Bamboo man.

I'm totally in love with the gardener....

 This was Bob's second time to be part of the Maple Ridge Garden Club Tour to raise funds for the Sunshine Children's Foundation. I am sorry to say that we were so busy greeting guests that I didn't take many pictures. It would have been impossible to capture the day and the garden of delight. The garden was impeccable. The day was picture perfect. There were hundreds of people through and you can't imagine the ooh's and ahh's that filled the atmosphere. It truly was spectacular.
I must say that it poured rain the day before and the day after and now even today. The Sunshine Foundation ushered in a Sun-shiney day and it has now become a beautiful memory to tuck in among many other beautiful memories of Bob's garden. I'm so proud of my hubby.
