We have five inches of snow and 6° this morning. Our garden is always a work in process also. One of my husband’s retirement hobbies is going to auctions and he always brings home treasures for the garden. We also like flea markets and junk shops. Really enjoyed your photos.

Thank you so much for all your nice comments Becky. Those plants you are referring to are Fiber Optic Grass…it is hardy in zones 8-11, so here in Indiana we consider it an annual. We did move these planters to our front porch for the winter and they have kept some of their green color better than I thought they would. I plan on adding some in new areas myself this year and I think you will be happy with them!

Thank you CC. A lot of times there are not enough daylight hours in the day for the work that needs to be done!

Thank you for your lovely comments Linda. I am so honored to be an inspiration for your new area. Have fun with the designing and planting!

Thank you for all your nice comments Carol. Our hardscape pathways are not too difficult to keep clean, just have to remove or cut back a few plants beside the edges from time to time. I like a little spill over as it looks more established and natural. But the round stepping stone paths…now that’s a different story, and like you, I am always battling the volunteers and spreaders that threaten to take over those pathways!

Thank you Violet….just keep plugging away and you will get there. I am happy with mine, but never quite satisfied and always changing or adding and wishing they could be better.

You have such beautiful art ideas throughout your entire garden ad the brick paths tie it all together so well. What are the great grass like plants in the tall column planters in the grinding stone area? I would love adding some of these to my garden. I am completely envious of your beautiful blooms. I hope you will share again soon.

Thanks for the inspiring ideas. I have a section of yard that needs work and your woodsy stone path is full of great ideas for that area. I’m already drawing plans. LOL Thanks again for sharing.

Love all the landscaping and architectural details, especially for the winter and fall scenes. So, my question to you is how do you keep all the paths in the garden from being overrun with flowers? Mine seem to expand so much ever year, that I am constantly pulling or digging up what I don’t want to spread and spend more time than I have on that.

I have a long ways to go to make them as beautiful as yours, but maybe someday I’ll get there.
