Earlier this month the rustic Bajan gardener visited  one of her favorite gardens in the open garden program organized by the local horticultural society. The garden located in Gibbes St. Peter, is owned by a long time resident  by the name of Ole Dam Mikkelsen who hails from Denmark. If you haven't seen the previous posts on his garden a few years ago please click on the above link. Ole's garden is and if not is the most beautiful garden on the island. This five plus acre garden boasts of rare and exclusive exotic plants from around the world and a huge collection of orchids.  This garden is every gardener's dream and  will never disappoint you. Have a great weekend friends and enjoy!

Garden Blogger's Bloom Day March 2012

 We were driving along this country road chatting when this view stopped us in our tracks!

 We stopped and knocked at the cottage door and a window opened with a smiling face behind it.

  Chinaman's hat and cherry jubilee Alamanda happily coexisting.

 Cigarette Cuphea adding a splash of colour here.

 Crotons took on a special brilliance in this garden!

 Eureen at the front of her cottage.

 Begonias, Crotons, Pandanus and Pointsettia all competing for attention.

 Impatiens were popping up here and there

 This colourful croton was to die for.

 This Sansevieria was unknown to me and Eureen shared a piece. She told me that it perfumes the garden when in bloom.

Hello and welcome to Garden Blogger's Bloom Day where gardeners from all around the globe post what is blooming in their gardens. Last month I was gallivanting around the island with a friend who follows my blog in Australia. Yes I said Australia, as we were driving along a country road  in the parish of St. John we came across this gem of a garden owned by a sweet lady by the name of Eureen. It was a cornucopia of colour and plants. She was happy to show us around and talk to us about her garden which has been featured in many international publications. I can only describe this garden as a true Caribbean cottage garden. To see more blooming gardens please go over to Carol's blog at may dreams gardens
