GRACE:

noun...1. seemingly effortless beauty or charm of movement, form, or proportion.

Grace Gardens is...

This blog's purpose is for me to keep a garden journal of sorts. To detail some of the things that I accomplish in the garden and a little of what I do in my home as well. It will also be a place where I will post the photos that I love to take so much. Maybe a place to post my overflowing of pictures that I particularly like or find artistic. Some posts will be wordy...and some may have no conversation at all. Just a post to bring back to mind a lovely day or a meaningful memory. I have disabled the comments on this blog, but feel free to e-mail me for any questions about what you see here. My e-mail address can be found in my profile.

Just sharing some recent blooms from the garden.

foxglove in an urn

I bought these at a nearby nursery planted together in large container.
They were perfect to plant in this urn until their blooms fade.





lilacs in a wash basin on the porch

























Jacob's Ladder










Lace Artistry iris



late blooming white tulips








blue flax





lupine and lilacs




Siberian iris



Siberian iris make a beautiful cut flower too.





They didn't last a long time in the vase, but just long enough to enjoy for the day.






The peonies will be blooming soon.
Hurray!
