A Trip to the Local Garden Nursery

It’s Thursday which means it’s Artist Date Day. In my last post I showed the African Violet Pot I’m making in my slip casting class, and even though it will be a couple of weeks before I finish the project, I thought it would be fun to select a new plant. A visit to the local nursery would also be the perfect place for this week’s Artist date,  because it’s certainly colorful and has a creative atmosphere. Both are requisites for an Artist Date.

I love the green house at the nursery where they keep the African violets and orchids. Here are only three of the many gorgeous plants I saw while browsing.

It’s a good thing that I traveled by motorcycle and not car today, or else I would have come home with more than just the one African Violet.

After this lovely white orchid I’ll leave you with a splash of color.

It really was the perfect place to go for this week’s Artist Date.
