What a joy to visit Johnson Brother's Gardens... better than a trip to the spa! We traveled over from Yachats for our favorites, then had to turn around and make a second trip back over for all of the pretties that we did not get on the first trip.
Thanks ladies, for getting that second truck load of plants into our CAR!! We are looking forward to our next visit.
