It seems that her garden is moist shade, which offers greater opportunities than shade so hot and dry the gardener is tempted to plant silk tulips. I love that she added a roof fan as garden art.

I wish I had stuff like that in my garden, with so much presence. We saw gardens with a variety of columns at the Green on Green tour this past weekend, and I kept thinking I really need to add something like that.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
