It is evergreen, blooms in late winter ,with white bells, and the overhang would protect its flowers from frost.

It rotates between PNW cities but is taking next year off.

Three people were too many people for photos, it was a very narrow space. I think there were maybe five people back there all total. Of course two slow ones at the front meant everyone had to wait.

I'm glad you found some things that appealed to you here. But my favorite words from your post were "too many people," confirming one of my reasons for not going this year. I'll probably attend Study Weekend in the future, especially if they hold it in Canada, just because I've seen so few gardens there. Maybe when the time for that comes, I'll beg my doctor for some Xanax.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-20950256302714131992019-09-02T08:39:46.874-07:002019-09-02T08:39:46.874-07:00Oh that's a bird feeder, I should have done a ...Oh that's a bird feeder, I should have done a better job of cropping that photo.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-47983592653726318852019-09-02T08:29:40.220-07:002019-09-02T08:29:40.220-07:00Picture number nine features an interesting metal ...Picture number nine features an interesting metal & glass (?) lamp-post/bird-house?
