Beautiful Spring Garden

LaConner, Washington
The beautiful Spring Gardens at Roosengaarde in Skagit Valley are a sight to behold. I stopped by the last Sunday in April last year to see this amaziing display of tulips and rhododendrons. A beautiful memory and it always is on my list of places to visit in Springtime. Here is the link to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival; http://www.tulipfestival.org/

That is amazing. Great eye trail Marjorie.

Lovely garden and very nice composition. There is a group for gardens you might want to look up and join for this shot.
Marjorie Wallace replied
Thank you so much. I did join. Gosh, we do have lots of new special interest groups, don’t we?
LindaJBazor
What a beautiful garden and wonderfully photographed! I want to visit there. What city is it in? Absolutely gorgeous!
Marjorie Wallace replied
Thank you so much, Linda. It is between Mt. Vernon and La Conner in the Skagit Valley. It is absolutely the best place to be at Tulip Time. There are hundreds of acres if not thousands of Tulips. We actually grown tulips for Holland to sell as their own. This little garden is at Roosengaards and one of my favorite places to visit. There are many different settings and gardens around the property. Here is the link to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival; http://www.tulipfestival.org/
I think for now it would be just Daffodils and the early blooming bulbs, but you can get an update ever day.
Lois Bryan
sweetie your composition on this one is spot on … not to mention the glorious colors!!!!! Well done!!!!!! what a beautiful place this must be!!!
Marjorie Wallace replied
Thank you so much, Lois.
