Thank you for showing us your stunningly beautiful gardens. The colors are so radiant and the beds perfectly manicured, there is so much to see. And I especially loved to see all the variety in your garden, so many species of trees and plants that thrive in your northerly garden. Hurray! It gives me such an inspiration to go on trying to grow things here in Iceland.

There are some plants in your garden that we grow in our gardens here, like the Delphinium and most of the annuals. But there are also many trees and shrubs I would like to try here.like the weeping birch which is so beautiful. And I was just yesterday potting small rooted cuttings of pea tree Caragana aborescens. Green Grin! .

In the rock terraced area on the hillside is a plant I recognize from deserted gravel covered places here. It is the plant with the small yellow flowers. If I´m right it is Sedum acre L.

Sharon and Margaret Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful article with the most beautiful pictures.
