the garden barn

June 19, 2020

plants at Flower Barn

When you have close friends that have fabulous gardens, you have the benefit of finding out about all their fabulous gardening resources!

Today, I am taking a field trip to one of these resources.  Two of my friends frequent a place called the Garden Barn and I have never been – until now!

I could plan a whole outdoor constellation themed party with these two topiaries and plenty of little white lights! So fun!

I could never go wrong taking a recommendation from either of the two friends I mentioned with the fab gardens.  I knew the Garden Barn would be great, but it was even better than my expectations.  (The fact that I have been isolated for so long may have contributed to my excitement!)

From the moment of arrival, the variety and quantity of beautiful, healthy plants is overwhelming.  And, the knowledgeable staff at the Garden Barn makes visiting a learning experience.

For today’s post, I decided to pick one unique item to showcase from my visit – topiaries.  I haven’t seen these at any other garden store I have visited so I thought they would be fun to share!

Have a wonderful weekend!  Thanks for stopping by.

Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie

P.S.  If ever in the vicinity of Vernon, Connecticut, make a stop at The Garden Barn.
