A couple of years ago I was in Asheville, NC, for a garden bloggers meeting. One of the places that we were supposed to visit was the White Gate Inn. I was a quite curious as to why we were going to this bed and breakfast place as part of our tour.
It didn’t take me long to figure out why we needed to see this place.
This is a lover’s paradise. A plant lover, that is.

If you get a chance to visit the Dallas Arboretum this autumn, be prepared to see some spectacular container plantings.
