Here are some pictures from the High Desert Garden Tour located in Bend, Oregon. Lots of colorful gardens out there!
There were gardens with winding paths and comfortable places to sit to take in the scenery.
You can get plenty of ideas on what colorful plants to plant in borders on this garden tour.
Or maybe you want potted plants on wheels that can be moved to where you can see them best.
After looking at all of those colorful plants on a hot July day, it made me want to jump into a swimming hole. Maybe I could have taken a quick dip in this backyard pond on the tour. 😉
If you want to see the featured gardens on the garden tour next year, check local nurseries in Bend for tickets for this July event. The tickets sell out fast! Next year will be the 25th year of this annual event.

Nature surely knows the best palette! Lovely response to the challenge
Thanks! The tour made me realize I need to add more color to my own garden.
Beautiful gardens! Nicely captured. My husband's niece lives in Bend so I'm always interested to see your pictures.
Thanks! Hope she gets out to see some of the beautiful flowers around here.
Such a talent to put gardens like these together!
Yeah, my front yard garden pales in comparison. I think it's interesting that some of the plants that grow well here are South Africa natives. 😁
We're very proud of our floral kingdoms!
Beautiful flowers! What an easy way to bring a smile to a face! Thank you!
