10th Annual Mount Dora Garden Tour

The Lakes & Hills Garden Club's 10th Annual Mount Dora Garden Tour was held on November 2 & 3 and its theme was "Garden Parties."

Here are some of the beautiful "garden party" tables featured at each garden. 

And, here are my favorite "spots" in each of the 5 gardens featured.

In Garden #1 - this shaded walkway was a place to slow down and enjoy the orchids hanging from the trees as you approached a private sitting area.

In Garden #2 - I liked the inclusion of the palm trees which created a tropical Florida cottage-style garden.

Garden #3 - incorporated a number of decorative garden pieces into their small garden, and I particularly liked this sweet angel among the colorful display of coleus and ferns.

Garden #4 - enhanced a natural wooded wildlife area that borders their property.

Garden #5 - artfully eliminated turf grass with a functionally pretty landscape.

 Here are some great garden ideas to borrow for your own garden.

From left to right - tillandsias attached and hanging from a metal plant stand, ornamental sweet potato vine trailing out of a bird feeder, succulents and ferns in a strawberry pot, and raised vegetable garden beds.

The garden club members did a nice job in featuring gardens that were each uniquely different. Read on in the next 5 blog posts to see each garden in more detail. Hope you enjoy the tour!
