The Garden Grows

With a little work and many free plants donated from friends and garden club members, I have turned a blank yard into my own private eden.

I spend many hours just sitting and gazing out into the plants. It is my place for meditation, my escape, my place to unwind with my dogs and friends and family.

All in the space of a year and a half. Not bad for a person who would rather be doing something besides getting into dirt. But once I get involved out there, time just flies.

I designed the garden to be almost maintenance free. I used mulch, eucalyptus mulch when available as it repels bugs, and ticks. My dogs like to chase the lizards and harass the doves, which I stop immediately. All creatures are welcome here.
