When a Gardener Travels

[NJCher]

I'm on a trip to the midwest from New Jersey and I am posting garden photos on my blog. The photos posted today are of a little house covered entirely with ivy and a street-front garden with Russian sage and roses.

My friend showed me the largest garden center I've ever seen in my life yesterday, Lahoma Nurseries in Omaha, NE. I posted a few photos of it and I also posted some photos of a lake house.

1. Have you traveled through Iowa?

If you go through Ames you can stop at Reiman Gardens on the Iowa State University campus.

2. Thanks for the tip

I'm traveling by plane, though. I will keep it in mind, though, because I love to travel all over seeing gardens.

Next up will be some photos of a garden with interesting little pathways. What I find valuable about these pathways are their creativity: lots of good ideas for how to use brick and other materials in building a path.

I need to build some paths but quite frankly, have been uninspired. After seeing what this gardener was able to achieve, I am motivated to build those paths!

3. I'll have to go to that garden center sometime

I'm about four hours from Omaha, which is not too far to drive for a really nice garden center. I haven't been to the zoo there for a few years, so I'm about due for an Omaha trip anyway.
