Olde Towne Gardens of Mount Dora - 2012 Tour


      My sister and I had fun touring the "Olde Towne Gardens of Mount Dora" garden tour in November.


Tropical ground orchids are planted beneath a shady oak in a garden on Alexander Street, while the house (upper right) on 10th Avenue has a tropical look to it.

And, here's some great ideas from a garden on 10th Avenue for growing vegetables (below). The gazebo is located in the side yard of a garden on Alexander Street.


This garden on Alexander Avenue (near 12th Avenue) is very peaceful and tranquil.

This garden is very creative. It was totally decorated for Autumn. 

Here's a great idea! They turned an old fountain into a bromeliad planter. Quite brilliant - - don't you think?


They definitely like container gardening.

Mark your calendar for the first weekend in November for the Lakes and Hills Garden Club 2013 tour. This year's theme is "garden parties." It's definitely worth a visit for garden inspiration, and to tour the town and enjoy one of the delicious restaurants and the many shops.
