I love how your garden constantly changes. It was beautiful at the start and more beautiful as time passes.

Jeri: I really enjoyed this tour of your lovely gardens, and I agree with Vic, it looks like a very peaceful setting. I can tell that a lot of work went into each section you've created ... you and your husband did a great job! Thumbs up

Thanks Karen and Veronica!! It has truly been a work of love!!! We started the gardens in 1995 and lost our middle child in 1997. 8 days after she gave birth to her 2nd child. So to me I have worked out a lot of anguish there and have come to the peace that God always knows best. Time began in the garden.

Thanks Vickie!!! I hadn't realized until I put together the info for this article how many different palms I have in the garden and how much they have grown in the 16 years of the gardens existence.
