Highland BLOOMS: Fun, Funky and Artistic

Since Ricky had other assigned duties Saturday at Highland BLOOMS event, he couldn't linger at some of the garden sites and visited some before they actually opened for tour goers, which is why these photos look devoid of people.  His photographs show a little of this artistic garden space, so I'm going to share a few pictures with you.  There is also an excellent photo gallery of each garden on Facebook, The Highland Experience community https://www.facebook.com/#!/HighlandExperience

The first large garden's primary themes were art and container gardening.  Arts and crafts vendors and artists set up here to display and sell their works.  Scattered throughout the grounds were raised beds and containers, displaying a variety of plant life.  A band entertained tour goers who chose to linger at this location to do a little shopping.

Art vendors setting up in the large yard in the shadow of I-49
found that the shadows couldn't cover the area quickly enough--the interstate provides
greatly appreciated shade in the afternoon for this homeowner.

This stylish garden shed should grace the cover of a magazine!

This fun and funky yard represents Highland's sensibilities well.
