Landcraft Garden tour details

Posted on

Here are some up-close photographs of the garden tour at Landcraft Gardens! All of the colors from the lush plant-life was so beautiful. There were so many different shades of purples and greens. All of the plants were showcased so they all stood out on their own.  Landcraft is such a wonderful place to walk around. I would recommend everyone going and seeing this garden.
