One of my favorite Austin gardeners, Lucinda Hutson, welcomed busloads of Garden Bloggers Fling guests into her carefully crafted garden.  Surrounded by an explosion of color, gardeners wound through her sanctuary, taking in a rainbow of plants, benches, and ephemera designed to delight.

Lucinda’s garden reflects her love of the Mexican culture which permeates every corner of her garden and home.

 

Multiple seating areas offer welcoming areas for entertaining family and friends.

 

Her cat, Sancho, presides over his domain and took the time to pose for his guests.

Garden rooms are dedicated to different themes like the mermaid grotto.

 

Our gracious hostess joined us at the Fling closing BBQ Bash at Articulture, enjoying the live music and treating us to a dance.

 

Word can’t fully convey our appreciation for the Flingers and their kind words about the Austin Anniversary Fling.  We loved inviting them into our gardens and sharing some special pieces of Austin with them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course we needed a shot of tequila to start the Fling off right!
