Heritage Days in the Garden

This weekend the Interpretive Center celebrated the 175th Anniversary of the Oregon Trail.  We had many visitors to the gardens, including a few from the past!

Two garden explorers


We played at vegetable game - matching the seeds to the vegetable.  


The visitors didn't seem to disturb the residents of the garden, they were busy doing their work all day long.


Beautiful rose hips, almost ready for harvest


Speckled Moon and Stars watermelon with Calendula 


Watermelon blossom and lobed leaves 


Almost ripe! 


The corn is just not growing, probably because of the watering issues earlier in the summer. 


Leek seadheads



Short Cleome


And my camera just can't stay away from the Zinnia's!  They were the star of the garden today as the subject for many photos from our visitors



Things should start to quiet down in the gardens with fall approaching in just about a month or so.  Enjoy these last days of summer in your gardens, and we will see you soon.
