~Trip to Summers Past Farm~

I wanted to share photos of a trip I took to

 Summers Past Farm

 this last week.

It was my friend, Colleen's birthday and we both wanted to visit our favorite nursery.

You can see their site here:

Summers Past Farm

It's a beautiful nursery located in

 Flinn Springs, California

Hope you enjoy the photos!!

Unfortunately, the heat lately everywhere in San Diego has done a number on everyone's garden.

But, with watering

 after a hot day the pumpkin leaves will look great...

Inside the barn has lots of wonderful things!!

Quite a collection of miniatures!

Their herbal soap shop has handmade soaps.

They make them in the shop and 

also have supply kits to make your own!

Suzzane is an employee here. I've known her for over 20 years now, before she worked at Summers Past Farm.

I bought most of our statuary in our garden from her.

 Great to visit Sheryl and Marshall's nursery

 and to see a wonderful friend.

~Wheelbarrow Miniature Garden and Simple & Sweet Fridays~

I'm so excited about my new miniature garden.

You would have thought I won the lotto. 

I found this wheelbarrow being given away free!!

I saw a miniature garden at Summers Past Farms in a wheelbarrow.

It was such a cute idea but I didn't want to buy a new one.

I had just the right spot for it.

Now the pumpkin patch has a new home!

I had to share our latest photo of our hydrangeas.

They got so big I can't see our fountain.

Another idea for a ladder!

Happy Thursday everyone!
