'Summer Flowers' for the Cottages

Saturday was our day to make a run from the Park to Art Knapp in Courtenay to get the 'Summer Flowers'. It is our late Spring/ early Summer ritual  that we go through every year at this time. It is always a lot of work... but so worth it!

 We planted the new flowers for the sign...

 meanwhile the flower boxes were being prepped for their delivery to the Cottages..

 Geraniums, Violet trailing Lobielia, and lovely Bacopa in every box ... stuffed full!

 Lots of soil, flowers, water and joy......The Summer will be full of colour with flowers everywhere.
