My Sister's Garden

[mary5958]

Pictures from my sister's small but lovely garden taken in late May, 2008. The garden relies primarily on shape, form and foliage color rather than flowers. The first five pictues are of her front garden (and you can see that her next door neighbor employs a similar style in her front garden), while the others show her main garden behind her house

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I love all the hostas - I have several myself.

See - they grow here in the midwest, too, so that's something you'll still be able to have when you get here! :-)

Fabulous garden! Great mix of textures and colors and I can't see a single weed.

While I love flowers, I love that she's made this garden non-dependent on blossoms. It looks wonderful all season and she has enough things blooming - a lot of clemati vines for one - that change still occurs and keeps it interesting. And no, there aren't any weeds. (Kind of makes me want to smack her around a bit...) :-)
