This garden scene is certainly not a natural occurrence. What this picture speaks to me is a message of planning, work, toil and a true appreciation for the art and love of gardening! Sue is to be congratulated for this natural masterpiece of beauty. (I might add there was likely some blood, sweat & tears along the way! Great job Sue.)

Oh yes, lots of work and it's only half done. I don't share much of the still unplanted sections in photos and sometimes I feel overwhelmed by what still needs to be done but I plug away at it a little at a time. We have only been here 3 years so most of the planting seen in these shots are 2-3 years old. The pathways were already there but we had to tear out huge overgrown shrubs and and lots of weeds. If you read my blog, linked in my signature, and start more towards the beginning, you can see some of it's progress.

Thanks Lindsay! Lots of love and work went into this garden! Make sure to see my other multi-plant images from my profile page, this garden is just over 5 years old. That photo was from last year.
