Meander down brick and gravel pathways to discover lush herbs, vegetables, flowers, strawberries, and fruit trees all tucked in together without a single blade of grass.
Meander down brick and gravel pathways to discover lush herbs, vegetables, flowers, strawberries, and fruit trees all tucked in together without a single blade of grass. Breathe in the aroma of stephanotis surrounding the yard on beautiful trellises along with many rose bushes. Decorative raised beds overflow with vegetables and herbs. This garden is perfect for curling up with a favorite book or hosting a large family gathering or an intimate wedding.
It's hard to imagine that this garden sprang from a weedy mess with eight giant limbless trees 35 years ago. 90% of the yard was planted with 1-gallon size plants or smaller. Nothing larger than a 5-gallon size was used in order to save money and because Patty couldn't lift anything bigger!
Please keep your eyes open for the large family of hummingbirds who enjoy feasting on a wide variety of everblooming red flowers. You may also glimpse a pair of pin-tailed whydahs, an occasional hawk, and several types of finches congregating around a birdbath and small fountain. Well camouflaged dinosaurs have also been spotted munching on the greenery.
