A couple of weeks ago my grandma sent me a package filled with autographed books, souvenirs from the Boys & Girl Conference in San Francisco and an email regarding their garden. I put things away and set the email aside with the thought that I would view the new photographs later. 
Let me back track a little. My Grandparents have been gardening for as long as I can remember. They have scaled back from when I was younger but it is still spectacular. They combine both flower and vegetable gardening, and have two greenhouses to keep their gardening season going through the cold winter months.
Last year Mark Turner from Inland Northwest Gardening asked my Grandparents if he could photograph their garden. The weekend that Mark stopped by was a busy weekend with lots of visitors so Mark strolled through the garden taking photograph after photograph. When he posted the photographs on the Inland Northwest Gardening in the Swift Garden Gallery, he email my Grandma, who forwarded the email to me. The pictures are wonderful and it is to bad that he could not be there for the whole season to bring justice to their garden. The last I heard he was going to come back in the spring since my Grandma has a beautiful spring bulb collection. So I figured that the email was regarding the spring bulb spectacular. I was a bit disappointed not to see a sea of daffodils and tulips, but I was delighted to see the bountiful garden that my Grandparent produced this summer. So I thought I would share the bounty with you through Mark’s photographs. Swift Garden Enjoy!!!The photographs in this posting were either taken by my Grandma or myself.
Very exciting! Congratulations to your grandparents. The photos of their garden are lovely.
