I've always enjoyed seeing pictures of your garden here and there, Holly, so I was delighted to take this extended tour and read a more detailed description of the beds and other features.

The bubbler is fabulous!

Thank you Sharon for taking us on this tour through Holly & Ric's beautiful gardens.

Holly: to you and your husband ... great job! A lot of work went into creating that space and it really shows!

Glorious Holly & Ric! with Lin --- a lot of work went into that & it really shows. Being from Florida I'm so jealous of your lovely boulders.

Loved the tour of your beautiful gardens Holly and Ric.

Thank you Sharon.

Those red Caladiums at the trellis are what sold me on caladiums a few years ago.
Great article Sharon and wonderful Gardens Holly and Ric

Sharon is right, I could wander through your gardens forever. Just beautiful and thank you so much for sharing them.

All I can say is ---WOW !!!!!!!!

Beautiful!!

You've put an amazing amount of thought and work into your beautiful gardens. My favorite features are the arbors, the hedge with the walk through arch, and the watering can in the pond with all of those beautiful water loving plants. And the pathways which connect so many of the areas. It's all very well done and beautiful. It all looks very restful, but I know that you probably don't have a lot to time to be resting.

I'll be back to visit HollyAnn and hubby's garden this summer. So beautiful and refreshing. It will be a nice respite from my 115 degree heat in Phoenix!
Thanks for the tour!

Thank you everyone. We really enjoy our gardens and the time we spend designing and working on them. There is much more to do I don't think we will ever be finished. It really helps that both Ric and I love to garden and he can build all the things that I dream up.

Holly, how wonderful it was to stroll through your garden via photos. It is all so lovely.
I remember seeing photos when you first started the gazebo area. What an amazing place it has turned into.
Thank you for sharing all of it.

Super gardens Holly!

I can attest that seeing the gardens in person.. trumps the photos!!.. such a great place!!!

Thanks Allison. One of these days I want to come and visit yours.
Lynn, So nice to have you back. I will be potting up those blue succulent pots very soon.
Thanks J.

How lovely to have another tour through your garden so soon after my recent visit, although, no photos can do justice to the garden "in person". Wonderful article! You have inspired me to get out in this heat and keep plugging away with the planting!!!

Jessica

you are always welcome here Holly

I also got to see Ric and Holly's garden a week ago when they hosted a plant swap - just fabulous! I've been following their various projects over the years through photos, but seeing it in person was a whole different kind of perspective. All I could say was WOW! I can't make up my mind which feature was my favorite. I had to smile at the blue egg bubbler - one time Holly posted a picture of a robin sitting on it, like it was so proud to have hatched that enormous egg LOL! It was cool and relaxing sitting in the shade of the gazebo, the new green house was wonderful, the bath tub water feature was unusual and absolutely perfect in that spot... oh, I could go on and on. Thanks for the garden tour Sharon and Holly, it made the swap weekend come to life all over again. Terri

Oh you all say such nice things. Thank you all so much. It was our pleasure to Host the Swap, we so enjoyed having everyone here.

Wonderful tour! My favorite part is the trumpet vine walkthrough! All your hard work has paid off
