Just a few years ago gardeners had few choices when shopping for annuals - petunias and marigolds and bright red salvias filled the garden centers.If you wanted interesting annuals you had to grow your own from seed.
But now nurseries have sprung up offering extraordinary diversity in both perennial and annual plants.
My favorite is Walker Farm in Dummerston, Vermont. (By the way Johnny Depp has a home in Dummerston so the possibility of a sighting is also a draw).
They have a wide selection of perennials, arranged by flower color, shrubs, herbs and heirloom vegetables. Table after table of annuals. But my favoirite is their greenhouse filled with exotic annuals, hanging baskets and potted delights.
I visited yesterday - having little money I bought only some cosmos to fill in bare spots in the garden - but had a wonderful time with my camera. It was like visiting a museum or gallery, a feast for the eyes.

How lovely photos, my favourite is the second.
Because I haven't been home my gardens look a MESS! This post made me want to go out and take care of them! But it's 93 degrees here...I think I'll wait until tomorrow!
I just love your work, and I love greenhouses. I have always wanted one of my own.
I am always delighted with the photos you come up with. This makes me want to go to the garden center.
I love all of your photos! The most interesting to me in this article is the cactus. Fabulous angle.
I love gorgeous flowers and you captured them beautifully!
My mom got me into plants and flowers especially when I was a kid. I just love them! Your photos are always so beautiful.:)
Love your photos!
What a beautiful place just to go visit.
I almost didn't realize that some of those shots were photographs. What a beautiful nursery. How in the world would you choose????
uniquecozytreasures - Even if you can't take everything home with you for your garden...you can take it home with you in your camera. Very lovely garden plants.
Your pictures are incredible! Of course, you do realize that you will have to blog about Johnny Depp if you encounter him!
