We got back to Pixy's at GASP! 2:00...and those of us in Gwendalou's "taxi" reluctantly shortcut our time at her house and headed for Mt Tahoma so that both groups would have time to visit. After a grueling trip through South Hill traffic (Thanks again Gwen for doing that drive...we all owe you for being the one to deal with that!), we made our way to the nursery. Talk about in the middle of no where, and aboutbeing somewhat (or maybe even more than somewhat) apprehensive of what we had gotten ourselves into! Our entrance into the nursery was not at all what we had expected, but after our little treck through his woods, what wonders we saw in Rick's nursery! It was incredible to see the selection of beautiful alpine plants that he had, and they were displayed beautifully! There were so many wonderful plants that just called out to be touched....

And Rick himself was fabulous! His passion for and knowledge of his plants was stunning. It was as fun talking to him and learning about alpines as it was admiring the plants!

This is my new "must do" project....a crevice garden! I can't wait to set it up...and yes, I came home with the first plants for it!
