A Novel Idea - A garden by Olympic Landscape and Irrigation

This being my first visit to the Tacoma Home and Garden Show,  I was delighted that we were greeted by strangers with candy.  Thank you Bay Equity Home Loans for starting the day off in a sweet way!


Also very nice was "A Novel Idea,"  the creation of Olympic Landscape and Irrigation.  It is my understanding that they have, for many years now, put together a garden for this show.  There is no show garden competition in the Tacoma Home and Garden Show so it was great to see some gardens and vignettes at the show. 



 I'd not seen the name of the garden and couldn't figure out why books were hanging from the trees.

 Interesting to be sure but I wondered why one would a) do this to a book and b) place it outside where it would certainly not last long.
 I am fond of the way the stepping stones went through the lawn, continued into the flower beds and kept going right through the middle of the water feature. 





Finally seeing this sign helped me to understand the books lying and flying about.   A nice garden that was fun to walk through!
