Saturday our teaching gardens were hosting an event and the first 500 people got a new hybrid of the endless summer hydrangea plant.
Chesley and I were so excited! We got there 45 minutes before the gates opened. 
We were the youngest people there. It was hilarious! We wanted our free plant!
There were a few vendors set up at the gardens. One of them had this amazing lime patio furniture. Of course we had to take pictures on it!
That bench was $800!! We saw the price tag and thought, surely that is for the bench and the table set (a table and 4 chairs). Nope, the table set was $1300! Crazy!

After the excitement of getting a free plant we headed to Calico Corners to scope out some fabric. But we got distracted by a lot of garage sale signs.
I got these cute little easter eggs for a $1. I think they will be so cute sitting out somewhere next Easter.

It was a great Saturday and we were home and worn out by 10 am!
I can't wait for Ty (not me!) to plant my new hydrangea bush. I can't dig a hole if my life depended on it and he told me no planting until after his test. Hopefully it will produce some beautiful blue blooms soon!

That sounds like so much fun! I can't believe that bench was $800! Wow.
oh how fun! you girls are are too cute :) i love that bench, but i agree...ridicuously priced.
I would definitely stand in line for a free hydrangea plant!
I love love hydrangeas!! Can't wait to see yours planted!
Hydrangeas are my absolute favorite!! I would have been there too :)
How fun! Marty had to speak at a Master Gardener's class a few weeks ago...he was definitely the youngest one there. Yeah, for free plants!
I tagged you on my blog!
Free hydrangea?? I'd be there too!!
We had wonderful big puffy hydrangeas on the tables at our wedding reception!

Did you know you can make your hydrangea pink (oor at least a more red-purple-blue color?)
It depends on the soil's acidity. Here's a link... http://www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com/colorchange.html
Sadly, our little forever hydragea from last year didn't make it. Maybe I tried to make it too pink and it rebelled??
I'm all about free!!! And I LOVE those easter eggs!!! I can't believe they were only $1!!!
Yay free!!!
How exciting! :) Can't wait to see what color it will bloom!
I love that green furniture!
Yikes on the price tho! (i'd hit up a garage sale for an iron bench and grab some lime green spray paint!)
:) yay for the freebie!
I love plants; however they do not love me. I am lucky if they make it very long. Your hair always looks so fabulous :)
I am so excited for you - I have really been wanting one of those new endless summer hydrangeas!! So cool!!
Great find on the easter eggs!
Free stuff is the best! Love the bench but I don't think it's worth $800. You could buy one at a garage sale and paint it for much cheaper.
I love hydrangeas! Unfortunately, they don't grow here very well. Stupid desert!
That sounds awesome, and I too would definitely stand in line for one!
oh my goodness, i want a hydrangea!! im going to line one side of my house with them :) those are super cute eggs. If im in the mood, i LOVE going to estate & garage sales..we can do that some day too :)
