You ran the table again, Dirt! You take beautiful pictures of a lovely garden. I love seeing the pictures of your gardens, your plants, and the creativity of your container material along with the plants you put in them. Congratulations for your many well deserved wins.

Hate to say it, but these pics really don't do it justice. There are 17 or 18 discrete gardens in the yard (depending on how you count) and each is so very different. She's imported plants and trees from around the country (and some from around the world, even). And that's not to mention the ten-wheelers full of boulders, soil, amendments, etc. It's just remarkable what she's created here in twelve or so years.

If you're ever in Utah, please get in touch and come have a look. Open invitation to any of our co-garden.org-ites. We've had several stop by and it's always been a pleasure.

"Fireworks in slow motion" is how I've described her gardens. They're really special.

Absolutely lovely. @dirtdorphins, do you have a blog?

Yay!
Thank you!
It's actually really difficult to take garden shots and avoid the house and the neighbors and the junk and clutter and the streets and cars and boats and garbage cans and hoses and weeds and and and etc., so I am thrilled to have succeeded and finally to win a spot with a prize for the first time.
Thank you, thank you!

It is an ever-changing spectacle

Sallysmom, no, sorry to say, all I have is the 'dead pets blog' which is just pics that I pulled out of the sandbox when they cleaned it out a few years back
someday, maybe, IF I ever get to retire...

I agree--a beautiful landscape! I love seeing a mix of rocks, flowers, grasses and trees.

I would love to stroll around in this gorgeous garden - it's incredible. Congratulations Dirt.

Congratulations Dirt, on all your wonderful photos. Your garden is just amazing and I'd love to see it in person, heck I pay a fee for Botanical gardens here in FL that still don't look as lovely as your garden does. Hard work has paid off, truly a work of art. Enjoy all you beautiful photography!!!

Thank you all!
I wish you could all come for a 'division party' and take some pieces home with you

I wish we could too!

Awesome!!!
Incredible that you photographed so beautifully AND did all the work!!! Where are you located? I would love to come visit someday.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

We are in northern Utah, not too far out of the way from anywhere else if you're traveling in the west

Only about twenty minutes from either I-80/84 and I-15.
