Spring has really sprung around here!
I’m not sure if you remember,
because this was a while ago,

the garden
that were created by artists during
the tour.
Pretty garden urns planted with
succulents.

or in this case, vise versa.
Marion found these antique gates at
a flea market in Pasadena...
and now they mark the entrance to her

And of course, the ever charming

enjoys every inch of the secret garden
as well!
