Theone with the Texas Parks & Wildlife representative? If it was, I agree, it shouldn't have been on the tour. I didn't learn or see anything new.

He seemed surprised to see the camera and not surprised we left quickly.<br /><br />Enthusiastic homeowners were on hand at all the stops. The folks with the xeric garden had photos showing the hard work it took to get their front landscaping in place. Volunteers had clearly done their homework as well making it a very good tour overall.Shirley Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734806779997587008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-41890405145319594912012-09-30T12:17:38.198-05:002012-09-30T12:17:38.198-05:00Most tours that I've been on have the proud ho...Most tours that I've been on have the proud homeowners/gardener present to answer questions, were they?

At least that would have been more descriptive and we would know what to expect.<br /><br />No excuses. It's been a good year for lawns and gardens, especially in this part of town. Everything looks better around here this year. If it's a bad year, then don't put your garden on tour.<br /><br />Of course I'll call when we go to ABQ.<br /><br />Shirley Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734806779997587008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-56412205302248225952012-09-29T12:33:55.803-05:002012-09-29T12:33:55.803-05:00I wonder if that property was having a down year? ...I wonder if that property was having a down year? That is disappointing. If it were weedier with some non-native trees, filled with visitors delighting in it's "eco-diversity" or some such verbiage, I would have known you were on an Abq garden tour, and didn't call to say hi!<br /><br />Well...you did see some inspiring gardens, though, you must admit! I need to catch back up on those.Desert Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952727692048782529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-25552102410105925912012-09-29T10:08:11.139-05:002012-09-29T10:08:11.139-05:00"Before" is right, it's not bad for ..."Before" is right, it's not bad for a typical back yard but not ready to inspire the public on a garden tour which costs people valuable time, money, and gas, an important consideration these days.<br /> Shirley Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734806779997587008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-88334415222245500622012-09-29T09:57:57.678-05:002012-09-29T09:57:57.678-05:00Exactly!Exactly!Shirley Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734806779997587008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-64177423908071917092012-09-29T09:55:43.658-05:002012-09-29T09:55:43.658-05:00What a disappointment!

Maybe with some gentle guidance this garden could be really great.
