Garden Days

We finally got around to visiting the Ruth Bancroft Garden this weekend and now I have fresh new inspiration for our yard. The garden focuses on water conserving plants (think lots of gorgeous succulents and cacti) and design.

Taking this photo, I got too close and one of the points stuck me through my jeans and made me bleed!

Our loot! They were also having a plant sale, so we couldn't resist.

I composed a similar post about summer succulents from Minneapolis' Contemporary Sculpture Garden. They are my favorite! http://hilaryinspired.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/summer-succulents/
