Expect tiny things in small spaces and big things in tiny spaces on the Highland BLOOMS II Garden Tour- one of our garden hosts tends a Fairy Garden complete with a gnome who stands guard.
A charming cobbled brick pathway was discovered under 2 feet of leaves and soil as the garden host worked her back yard. Join us and walk this and find out what she has done since uncovering this walkway.
Xeriscaping does not have to be boring, as our tour host demonstrates with glass tile and broken pots and terracotta pipes.
Tiny spaces can be exhilarating, as our tour host allows our patrons to walk through her patio home into her charming, grotto like patio. These quaint, secret Highland gems will only be open during our Highland Blooms II Garden Tour!
