Nursery Tour

We are spending the weekend in Seattle.  It is Jenna Dears 21st birthday this week.  More on that perhaps later.

The weekend started off with a 3 day youth conference at the church Jenna attends. I met up with the interns and had a wonderful time enjoying the speakers and meeting many of my daughters friends.  It was wonderful to see her in such a great place with such a lively community of young people.

After the conference Saturday we had some time to do a little shopping :) Jenna hung out with us in Bellevue as we shopped till we dropped.  Sunday morning found us taking a little excursion to Woodenville.  There are lots of lovely things in Woodenville, one of them is my all time favorite nursery Molbak's.  It is like going to garden mecca for me.

So come along and I will give you the tour.

 As we passed through an outdoor dining space, it was at the moment a misty morning.  Jenna calls Seattle spring weather moody. Today I could see why.  Clear skies, oophs now it is drizzling, oh wait a minute put your sunglasses on it is so bright, now it's over cast, next thing you know buckets of rain are falling. Moody is one way to describe a day in Seattle :)

 On entering the first building you are hit with everything decorative to do with gardening.

 Around every corner is a new vignette. From one garden theme to another.

 Lots of ideas to gather for future thought.

 Then the you get to the plants themselves.  The green houses go on and on, but I love how each area is put together with such flare.  These are not just a bunch of plants stuck on benches.

 As your pass through a large section of pots, you then walk into the covered outdoor area.

  Plants in every direction going on and on and on.

Back inside to another building holding all the tools of the trade.  I could have spent hours just browsing the seed racks...

Tomorrow we celebrate Jenna's birthday. I am looking forward to a day in downtown Seattle. I do hope the sun shines...but I heard something about 50 mph winds?
