I am an avid (addicted) gardener who lives in zone 8b/9. I got the gardening bug when I bought my house in 2005. There were just a few azaleas growing onto the house and not much else. Starting with a blank slate, I planted my first bed in the spring of 2006 and that's all I needed to begin a marathon of bed building throughout my yard. My goal is to create a "park-like" atmosphere - a place to escape and appreciate all that a garden offers. I'm looking to create some type of diary on the progression of my garden and share my gardening experiences. The good, the bad and the ugly!

Virginia Vacation
by Jason Redmon - posted 11/16/11

We spent the week in Virginia Beach visiting my sister and her family last month.  It was lots of fun and many gardens to tour.  The Norfolk Botanical Garden was awesome.  Below are a bunch of pictures of a variety of gardens we visited.

 

It was so much fun looking at all of these gardens.  You can get so many great ideas.  Good design is really hard to create.  I have re-designed many beds through my gardening years.  Looking around you and paying attention to design elements in different gardens can really assist your direction in your own garden.
