Wonderful Parking Strips - Sunday Favorites

Chari came up with a great idea for reviving some of our old
posts that have been buried in the archives - posts that someone new hasn't had
a chance to read or one you may have missed - she calls it Sunday
Favorites.

Beautiful
Parking Strips
This is probably the prettiest parking strip I've
ever seen. It is divided into 3 sections each trimmed with stones. The focus of
the first one is a big tropical looking plant.

The 2nd section has a tree and I love how she sunk a large pot into the ground
with flowers spilling out of it. The Delphiniums are to die for. What I'd
really like to do is go behind that fence and see what treasures she
has planted there. Maybe I'll go ask her how she grows such beautiful
Delphiniums and about if that tropical looking plant is just for the summer or
if it's hardy. Ya think she might give me a tour of the rest of the gardens?

A different shot of the first and second sections.
The third section also has a pot with flowers spilling out of it and another
tree.
Here are all three sections from the opposite end.

3 pictures of another very nice strip that is just stuffed with plants, shrubs
and trees.

I took this picture because this is the widest parking strip I've ever seen - but
then I haven't been noticing them for that long. There's a big section of town
that has this size strip but there don't seem to be any planted with flowers. I
only really started noticing these parking strips a few months ago after seeing
Karen at Greenwalks posts on
them. To see lots of great ones click on her blog name and head over
there.
