I like garden visits as I can take away ideas and also see gardens whose style may not be to my taste, but I can appreciate the design and effort all the same. It looks like you caught a stunning day to be out and about too.Sunil Patelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998062749546109287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-3146958778368362372014-07-17T07:12:13.004-04:002014-07-17T07:12:13.004-04:00You might have an opportunity to visit again.

They do set up the planting beautifully and are very interesting in themselves but you would not want many more than there are as it could feel too stage directed if you know what I mean.rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-3172616660614860322014-07-17T07:01:25.915-04:002014-07-17T07:01:25.915-04:00I also like the hens and chicks.

I think they do better if you can protect them in the winter. My problem is that we are gone part of the winter. I can put them in a coldframe, which would be preferable weatherwise, but then they do not get watered and they can dry up, even in the middle of winter. rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-89865619090316665592014-07-16T22:45:49.950-04:002014-07-16T22:45:49.950-04:00Sounds and looks llike a great way to spend a day!...Sounds and looks llike a great way to spend a day! I noticed that little container succulent garden at the second stop--I'm working on mine. Most of my plants died over the winter--or, actually, I think it was the spring freeze/thaw that killed them. I'll plan to keep them in a warmer, more consistent place next winter/spring.

But now the relatives have moved to Port Dover! <br />Thanks for sharing your trip.
