GardenDesign
I’ve written lots of pages full of information gleaned from my years of gardening in Ohio. One thing about gardeners: they love to share info and help others along the way to horticultural success!
I hope you are inspired to combine ideas and find the plants most likely to give you the environment you envision. Our home gardening is our landscape environment. It is our touching base with nature, and with our own selves. It is our physical place of touching some of God’s love and goodness. A place of calm and a place of expression. A place of of work and place to just be.
“She is the glimmering damsel of the wetlands. She is the sophisticated cousin of the butterfly. She is the color that silently darts about the water lilies on a warm summer evening.” ~author unknown
