My Garden Away From Home

Many of you know that Country Roads has a really big garden & nursery outside behind the store. It's called "Johnnye Merle's Gardens & Nursery".  JM belongs to my oldest daughter and she named it after my Mom and her Grandma Johnnye.  We've got such a great selection of plants out there, and a couple of other wonderful gardeners, Cathy Jarrell and Debbie Watts, have joined us along with some of the "boys" as well.  I had my camera with me earlier this week while I was looking around our gardens. I love some of our backdrops. . .

And speaking of Country Roads. . . the store will be having a really BIG sale on Monday, Labor Day Monday, September 1st from 10am to 5pm.  The Street Faire is gone, there is lots of parking and some great stuff on sale. Also, Johnnye Merle Gardens is having her sale start a big earlier (beginning on Saturday) just to say "thanks" for shopping at JM's!  Also, please if you get a chance, stop by my friend Tracie's blog! She has an absolutely beautiful gardens and also is hosting a little garden party on her blog with other great gardens!! I hope to see many of you over our long holiday week-end! Take care. . .
