What a beautiful variety of flowers and plants. I especially like how the neighbors maintain the median and the schoolchildren have a garden on the school grounds. How neat to also go to school across from the ocean. I think I'd have trouble concentrating on my lessons :).<br />Your gardens are also beautiful. I love how you decorated the baker's rack.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-65772392156405452102016-05-26T13:27:49.350-07:002016-05-26T13:27:49.350-07:00I always enjoy your tours around your neighbourhoo...I always enjoy your tours around your neighbourhood.

We live near Boston but exactly one year ago we went to CA for my son's college graduation and we rented a beach house a few blocks from you to spend the week with him. We really enjoyed the area and have really enjoyed your last few postings of gardens in the neighborhood.

The rocks along your flower bed are so pretty and are a focal point in themselves. <br />It was fun to see the native plants and trees in your area. Isn't it amazing to watch trees grow. Recording our gardens gives evidence to growth. I was amazed recently to run across old pictures and see how much our trees had grown.<br />Funny about the poppies growing in a crack in the driveway!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559612002837383953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-10974589078367317332016-05-24T04:35:11.711-07:002016-05-24T04:35:11.711-07:00A lovely tour, Carol, I enjoyed looking at all the...A lovely tour, Carol, I enjoyed looking at all the pretty flowers.<br />Amalia<br />xo<br />handmade by amaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589172037052603746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-38475889358524020332016-05-24T04:31:52.072-07:002016-05-24T04:31:52.072-07:00Beautiful images!

Those bright golden poppies grow here all over our medians - a very pretty sight. I love bougainvillea - it's so bright and grows so well.
