Leu Gardens Plant sale = Colourful inspiration

 

 

 

My family visited Leu Gardens over the weekend, I was amazed by the abundance of beautiful plants that were on sale.  I am a huge fan of the English garden, When I eventually get a garden of my own, I think it will overflow with the beautiful pinks and blues that remind me of my childhood :)

 

  I loved all the little statues that were dotted around the gardens, as a child my favorite book was “The Secret Garden,”  so this visit took me back to my imaginative 10 year old self.

Olive trees, orchids, ferns of every type, herbs, bromeliads, roses and my all time favorite blue, purple and pink hydrangeas.

 

I would highly recommend a visit to the Harry P Leu Gardens in Orlando, whether it be on one of it’s events or just to view the gardens on a more peaceful day. It gives you the perfect opportunity to view the REAL Florida, and perhaps take you back to the days your imagination had no limits and gardens were meant for teddy bear picnics, Hide and Go Seek or just doing cart wheels and hand stands on the grass.
