The Tables are here!
This is the 14th time that the famous Lakewold Gardens invite you to visit their popular Beautiful Tables Showcase!
It is held on October 25-28, 2012 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Wagner House.
Yesterday was the first day, and I treated myself to this festive display of 32 tables decorated
by amateur and professional designers.
I don't want to spoil your visit, so I'll just show several glimpses of the display.
If you live in the state of Washington and have a free weekend, you might want to attend this event, get ideas for upcoming holidays and also stroll through the Gardens.
Following are several pictures of the October Gardens. With most of the flowers gone, the Garden's bones are especially prominent. This is the perfect time to see, admire and appreciate what Thomas Church, the great American garden designer, and Eulalie Wagner created in this corner of Lakewood, WA.

DeleteLakewold must be an amazing garden, should like to visit it and also the table showcase is beautiful. It's a pity we cannot come from Europe to the US just when we want to, but that's why I enjoy your stories and pictures even more.

DeleteI would enjoy all the tables, but i would have to spend most of the day outside in the fantastic garden! Thanks for a taste. I love especially the photo of the huge tree with flowers around its base.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb! This is exactly what I do - enjoy the tables and then, admire the Gardens!
