"A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness;
it teaches industry and thrift;
above all it teaches entire trust."
-Gertrude Jekyll
As you walk through this gate,
you see almost too much to take in.
There is much beauty in small details.
"There are no gardening mistakes, only experiments."
-Janet Kilburn Phillips
Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to be realized.
-Allan Armitage
"When the world wearies and society fails to satisfy, there is always the garden.
-Minnie Aumonier
Throughout the whole garden are paving blocks surrounded by
a beautiful red mulch.
The planters used are many and of various types.
Purple flowers on a just as purple chair.
Can you guess the gardeners favorite color?
An old stump was hollowed out and now is home to this plant.
Practicality meets beauty.
Lavender and other herbs are mixed with the flowers.
Many rocks are in the garden and each has a story.
This rabbit on a rock as a very interesting story:
The gardener was chasing a rabbit out of her garden,
tripped on the rock and broke her elbow.
She picked up this rabbit at a Garage Sale and placed it on the rock
in memory of that rabbit.
Thanks for stopping by.
Abby.
P.S. Come back for part two.
