The more you baby your garden, the better the results will be. Daily nurturing is crucial for long-term success!

This garden is in its 3rd year.
A garden is always evolving, plants being moved to new and better locations, and others being split to make more. A garden is truly a labor of love.

Gardening for tranquility, peace of mind, and a gentling of your soul.
