A Pacific Northwest Beach Garden – It’s Never Too Late to Learn to Dance

Well, I’m back at the garden show! Today I wanted to start by sharing the garden I photographed the most: A Pacific Northwest Beach Garden – It’s Never Too Late to Learn to Dance. I guess I couldn’t help but snap photos of all the driftwood, stone, and groundcover plantings. Maybe I should move to the beach?
