There are resorts and then there are resorts. A very nice place and, a surprise, was a stay at the "Village Green Resort" in Cottage Grove, Oregon.
The whole purpose to visit Cottage Grove was to photograph covered bridges, which we did. What I wasn't expecting was the fourteen acres of flower gardens at the Village Green.
Usually, when you stay overnight in a motel, or hotel somewhere, you usually expect somewhat mundane surroundings. This was not the case. We spent a lot of time in their very well maintained gardens enjoying beautiful flowers, plants and yard art.
I photographed in early morning, the afternoon and in early evening. You can expect to see more garden pics in future posts.
Here are some cool garden design books:
