Luther Burbank Garden Tea Party and a Hat Contest

My friends April and Jean gave me a wonderful present - a ticket to the Luther Burbank Garden Tea Party.  April and I went together and we had the best of time.

Here is April all decked out ready to go to the tea party.  She is so beautiful.




April and Jean had told me that there would be a hat contest and also a silent auction.  Well guess what???  I came in 2nd on the Hat Contest.  I am so happy!!!!

I have always loved the Luther Burbank Gardens.  I usually visit in the Winter.  They do an open house right after Thanksgiving.  

Here is another picture.  The silk flowers are poppies and daises all flowers of Luther Burbank.  I also got a picture of an old Luther Burbank seed packet and a small picture of the man himself.

Here is my prize.  I took it to work and shared it with my co-worker.  It brightens our little office some.

Here it is uncovered.  It is just beautiful.  April and I decided we have to make this a yearly thing.  Next year we are dragging Jean with us and we jokingly said that we were starting on next years hats today!!

Clever garden art which was for sale in the silent auction.  Made from various dish ware.  I just love it!!

More garden art.  I'm going to try something like this for Grace.  I think she will appreciate it.




Luther Burbank Gardens is a wonderful place to visit.  It is so beautiful.  If you are in Santa Rosa or if you live in the area you should take a look.

Take a look for yourself - Luther Burbank Gardens


Until Next Time
