A Visit to Jane's

Hot and humid now.

Jane reciprocated and Jim and I had a tour of her garden yesterday.  Wild, messy, tumbling down slopes, very exuberant, and filled with surprises (benches, pots, sculptures, tag sale finds) in every corner.

I like her pea gravel area and want to do something similar in the Secret Garden space we have.  I particularly like the larger rocks that make the edges irregular.

And I love the long stone wall above the pea gravel area.

She has so much shade, and lots of hostas and other shade loving plants.  She has a steep slope that is overtaken with weeds and wisteria roots that needs to be hacked back, Round Up controlled, and then planted.

She also has a pond, which is lovely, but seems like a lot of work (the pump is broken, the yellow flag is overtaking it and can't be ripped out easily, etc.)

A very different garden than mine!
