Georgian Bay Garden Club tour of Owen Sound gardens - June 2012

We were very honoured to have our gardens chosen by the Georgian Bay Garden Club for their 2012 tour.
When the ladies from the garden club approached us to see if we would like our garden included in the tour we jumped at the chance. What better way to showcase, not only Carol-Ann's work in the garden, but perhaps a little of our art as well. Our art included many crafts, sculptures, repaired improved and rejuvinated "found objects", oil paintings, acrylic paintings and a lot more. Our biggest challenge was to not over do it. I think we found the right balance ...enjoy.
