I truly love the Northwest Perennial Alliance Garden Open Days. Each weekend from May through September, there is an array of gardens held open for members. The Open Gardens Directory organizes the opens so that all of the gardens in a given date are in proximity to each other so that one can easily take in all of the gardens at a leisurely pace and enjoy chatting with their gardeners. Back on the garden open road, let's take a peek at Peggy Walton's Garden in Kirkland.

"When we built our house 20 years ago we retained many lovely older plants from the garden of the 1930's home that was originally on the property."

"Although not a large property, we have many inviting places to sit and enjoy color and scent and an abundance of edibles in all seasons!"

Peonies in bloom in July? No, this garden was open during the first weekend of June.

"Over the years we have creatively combined perennials, herbs, fruits and vegetables
(and a fairy garden for the grandchildren) that provide interesting views from every window."

Very inviting indeed!
A delightful view of Lake Washington to boot.

Such a lovely rose.
This interesting group of tiles was hanging on the fence.
Thanks, Peggy, for opening your garden for us all to enjoy! As an added bonus, just as we were leaving this garden, Linda and Tom (Linda Letters) drove up. It's always a pleasure to run into blogging friends!
