I have been completely smitten by my garden and admire all efforts to create a little piece of Eden in other garden spaces. It truly has a positive impact on people .. even if it is only for a few moments at a time. My little garden is in zone 5b but most gardeners experiment with plants that may just make it from a higher zone .. a micro-climate can some times cushion a tender plant. I am a plant 'collector" I have more of a plant zoo than a designed garden. : )

Imaginative design for a large garden .. I can see this in a pretty spot to highlight plants around it.



An amazing yet very simple feature for a larger pond. Simplicity in design is a better choice when your main emphasis is in abundant plants and varieties ... this is a gorgeous focal point though !



Water features are becoming so easy now .. just that faint trickle of sound is so relaxing.

This is a very small unit to put just about any where you would like to !


I had to get this frog .. garden whimsy is VERY important ! haha



Some pictures from the garden show .. a breath of Spring ?
