Good morning
I visited Blanco Gardens recently and their Mist flowers are blooming. The bees and butterflies love them. I bought a plant last year from Blanco Gardens and right now they are covered with butterflies. They are easy to grow and have spread throughout their section of the garden.
Good morning,
I had the pleasure of visiting my sister of the heart in Blanco, Texas yesterday. we always make time to visit Blanco gardens. Amelia had some beautiful fall flowers. The red and yellow gerbera daisies were some of my favorites.

Good morning!
I bought a pack of zinnia plants from one of my favorite nurseries, Blanco Gardens in Blanco, Texas this summer. They had yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink flowers in the mix. These zinnias grow in a mounded form and are excellent bloomers, especially is you deadhead frequently. The butterflies seem to like the cheerful orange ones the most. Our fall weather has been mild with temperatures in the 90F during the day dropping into the low 70F at night and these flowers are not showing any signs of slowing down.

I love visiting Blanco, Texas. It started out as being a halfway mark for my best friend and I to meet for lunch and spend the day together. We have an early lunch, then walk over to one of our favorite places, Blanco Gardens.

It is a short walk from the cafe, and we always end up bringing back trays of plants on the walk back.
Amelia Lintner, the owner, is wonderful. Friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Her gardens are colorful and invite you to explore. She carries trees, shrubs, herbs, flowers, fruits and vegetables. She also has a wonderful selection of succulents, which I love! You will also find a nice assortment of planters, garden soils and amendments too, as well as a lovely gift shop inside. It is a wonderful place to relax and browse. The zinnias and succulents I bought from her this year have been outstanding.

The porch on her shop is a cool, shady place to relax while contemplating your purchases. 😉

Amelia has a beautiful selection of planters and slag glass in the shop as well as seeds and other gardening supplies.
