FRCC Garden Tour- Group One

Earlier this month I attended the
 Friends of Rogerson Clematis Society garden tour. Here are a few photos from Digs owner, JJ DeSousa's garden to start us off!
Cool, modern elements against the old-world texture of JJ DeSousa's brick home are a winning combination. Orange, her accent color,  is used throughout the garden.
Not having seen JJ's garden in 10 years, it has changed dramatically! I was very excited to see this sweet shed with orange window sashes and empty Woolly Pockets just waiting to be planted...something orange, perhaps?



Brilliant! I love this retro wood stove installed outside!

Great combinations of succulents, etc. in rustic pots throughout the garden bring the textural qualities of the architecture into the garden.
fastigiate hornbeams act to separate two seating areas in the garden - there's that cute shed again!

This was our favorite spot to be in JJ's garden. 
I think Mickey's asleep in the warm sunshine!
A lovely, seemingly cool, place to dine in the warm afternoon sunshine.

Oh my! It's even better than I imagined (or her pictures alluded to)...now I really need to take her up on that offer to see it in person! (thanks for the preview!)

Love it! Nice simple feel - love the corrugated iron, and the stove/burner.

Looks a nice hot spot - perfect for all those lovely succulents!
