On Saturday and Sunday I went on the Mary Lou Heard's Garden Tour. It was a beautiful weekend for garden tours. There were so many gardens to see that it is held on both days.
We only went to one on Saturday and it was a English Country garden. Beautiful roses, foxgloves, delphiniums, camellias and larkspurs. In the center of the rose garden is a lovely three tiered fountain. The hummingbirds love the fuchsia`baskets. A very large avocado tree and gazebo shade some of the back yard. There is a stunning Eden climbing rose bush over the trellis in the front year.
English Garden Shed
Inside of Garden Shed a lot of vintage items.
This is the garden room.
Don't you just love that old desk .... and all the lovely vintage linens.
Under the avocado tree - what a great place to sit and have tea or to take a nap.
This next house once belong to a big farm and was sub-divided - the house is the original home
This is a beautiful pond cascading down and the little house to the left was the foreman's home. The owners made a guest cottage out of it.
My camera's battery needed charging so I didn't get to take more pictures. We toured two more gardens and I sure was pooped when we finished.
This is my black iris - it's such a deep purple that it looks black.
Well, I hope that I didn't bore you will all these pictures, but I just love seeing all the beautiful flowers in bloom. My garden has been dead headed and waiting for new roses to appear.
I hope you enjoyed this post and will leave a comment. We (Waldo and Lili) all love reading them.

The rest of the pictures are in the back yard.
This is Jerri Cunningham's 1916 California Craftsman home, located in Old Towne Orange. There is a 100 year old avocado tree planted when the house was built. The Potager, or kitchen garden is a must see with a fresh vegetable stand and there is a lovely garden room which was added on later by Jerri.. There is also a "English Potting Shed" filled with collectibles throughout the years.
Jerri has been featured in Romantic Homes Magazine a few years ago.

Wow Mary what beautiful gardens and such lovely flowers! It looks like you had a fun day and thanks for sharing all of those gorgeous pics of your tours.

There was another garden that would knock your socks off - I have toured it before and is one of my very favorite gardens,, but my camera went dead. Had a wonderful day on Sunday.
DeleteHappy Mothers Day.
Mary
Wow, those gardens are just amazing, Mary! And yours are gorgeous too, of course! Too bad your batteries died. I love that garden shed, it's just adorable! I sure would have fun with one of those in the back yard. And all of the roses and potted plants, the gazebo, the fountain, well, I just love it all! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI liked Jerri Cunningham's garden very much, but the one I really loved I couldn't take pictures because the camera died. I have been to these a couple times before and it is always such a joy to see what new things they have in the garden. I would love one of those little garden sheds and fix it up.
DeleteHave a great Mothers Day - I know Katie will be giving lots of kisses.
Mary
Hi Mary, What a great tour of the gardens. They are just amazing and so inspiring. I love all the details and great ideas for planters and display. The Garden Shed is wonderful. Mary your Iris is gorgeous. I have never seen one that deep purple and almost black. Just stunning. Thank you for sharing the tour with us. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful weekend and a very Happy Mother's Day
Hugs
Wish you could have gone with us. There were a few gardens in San Juan Capistrano, but was a little to far for me. Jerri Cunningham's home is really very pretty and a true Ca Craftsman's house. She had painted a Hollyhocks sign above the door, couldn't see it very well due to the vine covering the shed.
DeleteWishing you a wonderful Mothers Day and get ready for the HOT weather again.
Mary
I can't pick just one favorite picture...what a treat, Mary! I can only imagine how much fun it was. I really love Jerri's home. Oh, how we all have such different yet beautiful gardens!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Thanks so much Jane, it really was a lovely day. Jerri's garden is one of my favorite's. She does many lectures and has been featured numerous times in the paper and in Romantic Homes. When you enter her garden you are taken back in time to the early 20's with all the old favorite plants. Hollyhocks, roses and hydrangea's - truly magical.
DeleteHave a wonderful Mothers Day.
Mary
What a wonderful garden, I really should plan on going on the tour next year, I had forgotten has nice it was. So happy that you were able to go and have such a good time. There is nothing more fun than visiting charming, and inspiring gardens.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the tours - always come back with ideas and then kill myself trying to get them done LOL
DeleteI'm getting to old to dig holes, should only be pruning.... I only got to go on 5 gardens, but spent a lot of time at each one. I really enjoyed talking with Jerri and taking in all the lovely vignettes.
Have a wonderful Mothers Day.
Mary
Hello Mary! I am so glad you came to see my irises this evening. I read your post earlier in the afternoon and fell in love with your black iris. It is a true beauty. I don't always get to comment anymore but my kiddos are asleep now so I can catch up on commenting. I am also impressed with all of your roses in bloom! The California sunshine is amazing. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI feel honored that you took the time away from your busy schedule to read my post and comment. I love iris - I have so many different colors. I noticed today that some of them are changing colors, especially the pink,red and butterscotch ones. I think they are going back to when they were grafting them. Like a rose does sometimes - back to what they rooted them with other roses.
DeleteHave a wonderful Mothers Day.
Mary
I really loved visiting that garden with you! It's very inspiring. And your iris is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Magali, I am glad that you enjoyed the post. There were some really beautiful gardens.
DeleteHappy weekend.
Mary
I love the front porch! It looks so romantic.. I wish I had a porch like this one :)
ReplyDeleteGreetings!
Yes, Jerri's porch is so pretty and she keeps it looking so nice. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteHave a wonderful Mothers Day.

Oh, what lovely pictures of beautiful gardens and such - sure enjoyed this tour with you, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for stopping by and leaving such sweet comments.

thanks for sharing such lovely places I feel like I could sit and read for awhile surrounded by all the beautiful flowers visiting from thrifty groove have a great day.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love to sit outside with a cup of coffee and read my magazines - smell the flowers and take in all the beauty that God has provided for us.
DeleteHave a wonderful Mothers Day.

Oh my goodness! Mary, how exciting! Both houses are so very charming, bright and beautiful! How much work it must be for these owners to tend to their pretty flowers, keep the grounds and porches looking tidy, as well as elegant! Thank you for taking us along on these wonderful garden tours; they're so inspirational!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, sweetie!
Hugs,
Poppy
I really enjoyed the gardens - they were all so special and it was a beautiful day also. You can tell that each gardener was so proud of their accomplishments. We had terrible winds all week before the tours and they kind of beat up some of the plants. But, being real gardeners we knew what havoc the winds did to our gardens. I could take in a garden tour each week. There were 43 gardens on tour Saturday and Sunday, but being that I have COPD I could only get to 5 of them, but I did spend a lot of time taking in all the beauty that surrounded us.
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by Poppy, you are a dear sweet person. I wish you a wonderful Mothers Day.
Mary
What an adorable home and garden you visited I also love your black iris! Thank you for visiting my blog from Kris's at Junk Chic. I followed you too. xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you liked my post. It was a fun day visiting all the lovely gardens - gave me lots of ideas - now all I need is a handy man to do all the hard work LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a great Mothers Day.

Lovely garden tour... thank you for bringing me here Mary! Oh now I need to fill up all those empty flower pots in my garden... soon ;) Thanks for the inspiration

Thank you so much for visiting Cielo. You will have your pots overflowing with beautiful flowers soon. So glad that you liked my garden - I have about 100 rose bushes, lots of iris and about 10 hydrangea bushes and numerous plants.

Happy Mothers Day to you also.

Hi Mary....so nice to meet you. I love that garden tour....I could live there! I love California! Seems to me to be beautiful almost all year long! I am adding you to my blogroll so I don't lose you!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you liked the Garden Tour - I always get so many ideas from them. Yes, we are blessed with perfect weather, except when it get TO HOT, which we are expecting starting tomorrow. Lots of watering to be done then.
DeleteHave a great week.

Hi Mar, loved seeing all the beautiful flowers, the one place you visited looks like a store, did they have stuff for sale too...love your iris, the color is always so amazing...I know it's a lot of work keeping it all up and with our California weather that's 24 seven lol....thanks for sharing all the great photos...Phyllis
ReplyDeleteGlad that you liked the tour and my garden. No there was nothing for sale - the little shed had vintage items in there. It was really very cute. Jerri has been featured in the Home and Garden section of the Register and she also had a article in Romantic Homes a couple of years ago. Jerri is a very nice lady and I like her alot.
DeleteSee you soon - want to see your chest.
Mar
OH MY!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful gardens. I love that little shed- oh to have a little cottage in the garden of my cottage!
I grew up in the orange groves of West Covina and remember vividly when our groves were cut down and my "playground" became rows and rows of tract houses.
I can remember when we moved to Anaheim in 1963 a lot of the land around our house was Orange Groves and then smell so good when they were in bloom and we also had strawberry fields too. Now all that is gone. The strawberry fields are under the high electrical wires, but quite expensive.
DeleteThere were 43 gardens on tour, but 5 was all I could take in. You should come down next year.
Hope you had a great Mothers Day.
Mary
Mary, Thanks for sharing the beautiful garden tour photos!! I love them. Your deep purple black Iris is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to you too! And yes I will be spending lots of time next week watering my newly planted seedlings. The heat hopefully won't be too bad!
Hugs,

So glad that you like the garden tour photo's. I really enjoyed the tour.

ReplyDeleteJanet
Thanks so much for your kind comments. What a crazy year we have had with weather all over the country.
DeleteSo glad that you are finally getting spring. We skipped spring and are going into Summer. Will be in the high 90's and 100 starting tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing all your lovely flowers.
Hope you had a great Mothers Day too.

Oh Mary - how inspirational !
ReplyDelete( I may love yours most of all ) I'm so tired all the time from our reno's that all I can think of when I see all of these is how heavenly it would be to take a nap amidst all of that beauty !!!
Thanks for sharing - and special thanks for letting me know about your post - I needed a good dose of this!
Big hugs,
Suzan
So glad that my garden tour and my yard was an inspiration for you. You have worked so hard getting your new home the way you want it - it is terrific. Now you just need to go sit by the pool, have a cool drink, read or look at magazines and relax. I am sure your yard/garden will be very pretty when your finish, but you need some down time.
DeleteHave a great week and hope that your Mothers Day was terrific.
Mary
I so loved seeing this garden tour! Really darling!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Bernideen - it was a lot of fun. Now I want to re-do the garden LOL

What a gorgeous garden....I love that it has so many wonderful roses and many garden vignettes...and how amazing that the avocado tree is 100 years old!!! Thanks for taking us on the tour with you!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Mother's Day!!!
The garden tour was a lot of fun and got lots of good ideas and I am already working a couple of new vignettes - will post later. My favorite was the one with the 100 year old tree - so relaxing.
DeleteHave a terrific week.
Mary
I love going on the garden tours each year. I missed this this past year because of the circumstances in my life but they can be wonderful to experience. I don't think it is as dry in Orange and on toward the beach area. I think your garden tour was much prettier than the ones I have been to in Riverside.
ReplyDeleteTake good care, my friend! It sounds like you had a wonderful time. Isn't May passing quickly though?
Love,
Mona
So glad to hear from you Mona, I was beginning to get worried about you. Next year you and your husband will have to go with us. We had a lot of fun and got so many gardening ideas - I am already working on some new vignettes. One of these days I am going to make it out to see you.
DeleteGet ready for the heat wave, ugh to hot.
Have a wonderful week dear friend.
Mary
Wow! Lovely gardens! Love the "real gardens by real people"
ReplyDeleteYes, it was nice to see the gardens that the home owners do all their own work not professional gardeners.
DeleteThe home owners were all so nice to open up their gardens for the 100's of people that toured their gardens.
Mary
One of my favorite things to do! How lovely! I enjoyed all of your beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jacqueline, it was a lot of fun, but sure was tired when we got home.
DeleteMary
Mary,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely home tour. There are so many interesting things to look at. I really like the bed with the rose linens under the avocado tree. The front porch is so charming. I love to look at front porches on homes. I can get ideas from them, and often it tells you a little bit about the person. That old desk is a beauty too.
We were just in So Cal for Mother's Day, and it was such a fun trip. The girls went out of their way to make it a special day for me. I will do a post about it soon.
Have a wonderful week, Mary.

Thanks so much Sherri - it was a fun tour - there were 43 gardens on display and we only went to 6 and that was more than enough for me. My favorite was the CA craftsman home with the lovely front porch, garden shed, etc. Jerri is an amazing woman and so interesting.
DeleteLooking forward to your mothers day post. - So glad that you had a wonderful time with the girls.
Mary
How absolutely beautiful the gardens are! That's one of my favorite things to do when they are available. My best friend and I are going to a garden tour in McKinney, TX in June. I've been before and it's fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you liked the post. Oh what fun to go on a tour with your girl friend and I know you will have a great time.
DeleteThanks so stopping by.
Mary
Such a lovely tour. I love seeing the way people fill their gardens with different varieties of flowers and plants. I'm inspired to get out in my own yard.
ReplyDeleteAfter I tour the gardens I want to change things up in my garden. I am working on some new vignettes for my gardens. Had a young man here yesterday helping me move things that were to heavy for me and plant my veggies.
DeleteHave a great week and I;m looking forward to seeing what you do in your garden.

ALL that beautiful profusion of flowers and color everywhere and here we can't really put annuals and veggies into the ground until the end of May! SO YES I enjoyed it / loved it :)
ReplyDeleteI know how that is as I lived in Ohio until I turned 21 and I left due to the terrible weather and moved to Sunny California. So glad you like the garden tours. We had no winter so it's been non stop with flowers all year. Hopefully you will be able to get your flowers in soon.

I am looking forward to the garden tour season. Even though your battery died, you did manage to capture some very nice vignettes. I bet you arrived home exhausted, but inspired.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was really tired from walking and being out in the heat, was a very warm day. But, it was worth it. One of my favorite gardens didn't get any pictures taken and I was very disappointed. Glad you enjoyed the photo's.

I so enjoyed this post. I remember going on a wonderful century home and garden tour in Hudson, OH. It was beautiful too. I love English Country Gardens. They are my favorite. When we first moved out here in the country I out in perennial country gardens. After my husband got sick and I didn't have time to care for them they finally went to weeds and succumbed to ivy takeover! I'm going to hunt for photos of my gardens back then and do a post on them. Thanks so much for showing us these tours. I love the gorgeous roses. I still grow a lot of foxglove in my front gardens.

Hi Mary. What beautiful gardens. I just love taking those kinds of tours. We had a tour up here awhile back but it always seems to be too early to show much beauty. Not like your area where there are so many pretty flowers all year long. Your garden in looking just as beautiful as ever..Happy Weekend..Judy
