Come through the garden gate


Enter the backyard to our secret garden.
First you see the pond Lynn created.



It is watched over by a mermaid and yellow ducky.



The pond lilly is blooming and the pink crepe myrtles over head too.


Tons of shade for our yard,  we can only plant shade worshiping plants.



Ferns and ivy do great with little sun.


On Lynn's plant stand he is training this circle topiary of varigated ivy.


Love this shot of my gloves on the shelf.  If it can hold dirt he will plant something in it.  This is an old solar light fixture!



In the winter you can find us sitting beside this firepit.


Thanks for visiting, come back soon.

  3. I enjoyed my visit to your garden. The pond is so lovely. I could sit and watch those fish for hours. I wish our garden had such a water feature, but we have so many wild animals near by that they would quickly disappear. Thanks for sharing this beautiful space. ~ Sarah
