Fairy Gardens
One
of my favorite things at the Southern California Garden Show at South Coast Plaza is seeing the
"Fairy Gardens". They are miniature vignettes created in
pots that are fairy-scale. It's like a combination little doll house
garden mixed with bonsai. The details are really fun!
Orange Coast College Horticulture Club's
Garden for the Visually Impaired
This is a garden experience for everyone. It featured
a lot of textural and fragrant plants, so as you walk through the exhibit,
you can enjoy the feel and fragrance of a lovely California garden.
