10 yrs ago, the garden consisted of lawn and a pond. The pond now is a wildlife pond with water lilies. The garden is divided into three sections by a pergola and two arches with climbing roses and honeysuckle. Trees, shrubs, and as many perennials as the flower beds can hold have been planted, and roses abound in the rose bed. It’s a garden that’s easy to walk around, with plenty of seating areas to sit and reflect.
