No, I don't believe the tour was any type of competition. It was a way of bringing more awareness to the master gardeners organization here, and to raise funds for their other projects (there was a small fee to tour). This was their 12th annual tour.HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-47625623112419881502011-05-03T06:21:48.115-07:002011-05-03T06:21:48.115-07:00What a treat, I too would have enjoyed a walk roun...What a treat, I too would have enjoyed a walk round a garden such as this. Your quite correct, foliage plays such an important part in the overall look of a garden, large or small.

I have been thinking about a virtual garden tour of my garden - but I'm not finished with it yet!<br /><br />GWGT - Glad you enjoyed it.
