The garden looked good; I expected everything to be burnt up like my yard. Click on thumbnails to go to album.

Helen I enjoyed the tour and it was so much easier on my feet than actually going there!

I would hate to see their water bills....if they get one....My MIL lives pretty close and I know she has been very dry at her location.

Wonder what the short plant with the large blue and red berries is?(second album I think)

You're right Helen. It doesn't look drought stricken at all. I was thinking the same about the water bill. I hope they don't have to start charging admission to pay for it. I should get out there and visit more often while it's still free to get in.
The plant with the berries looks like an ornamental pepper. There's one called Black Pearl that looks similar but I haven't grown it. Very cool looking plant.

That pepper was in the kitchen garden or whatever they call it in the Master Gardeners area. It was beautiful. I asked in the gift shop and they thought it was Black Pearl so Christie is right.
