Last weekend the famdamily visited Cheekwood so that I could catch up with an old co-worker who is now in charge of the color gardens and also so we could walk the grounds (for free even!)
We had a very fun day and took lots of photos. We are going to try to go back once every two months to see the changes.

One of the two Contorted Filberts on the Grounds
Golden Oregon with Creeping Jenny
Never thought of using Golden Oregon, but since Lindsey liked it, I think I have a spot to add some, if I can find a grower around here
Silver Dollar Gum
I think these are zone 8-9 plants? I need to check. I love the winter leaves and would LOVE to have one in my garden, but do not think I can give it the attention to make it live.
Plum Yew
I never give this plant much though, but really looks good in the right environment. They always remind me on an old Co-Worker who used them on every project.
Boxwood and Magnolia (Can you go wrong here?)
Espalier Mags are always up my sleeve for residential projects. This is a great example!
Lavender and Rosemary
Coming to a garden near me!
Dogwoods
A few of the extensive collection!
I currently have over 10 myself!
Winter Jasmine
I have lots of places I have been wanting to use this in my yard, but can not find a grower for it around here.
Entrance to the fantastic Color Garden!
I can not wait to see it with all the different vines in bloom!
Ellison and Elic Enjoying the time in the Environment!
