Rob Proctor Garden: Denver Fling sneak peek

A Denver Garden Extraordinaire

Rob Proctor, as mentioned previously on this blog site, is a gardening expert and author with a weekly gardening segment, Proctor's Garden, on Denver’s local channel 9 news. He’s has written 16 gardening books and has an expansive backyard filled to the brim with gorgeous ornamentals, both annuals and perennials, in a beautiful, English-garden style. 

What a variety of colors!

Such a devoted gardener, with tons of potted plants; plants that would never make it in the ground through the Colorado winter. That’s a banana tree in the corner!

A recurring theme, the cobalt blue pots work so well with all the plants.

It will be interesting and fun to see what he has planted in the yard gardens this year. 

It appears that, like me, he is a lover of yellow marigolds.

I can't wait to walk through this garden! ~Laura
