Visiting the Wickline garden…
“Touring Dick and Joni Wickline’s Ohio gardens every summer is never the same tour twice.” Jeanie Merritt says of this whimsical Ohio garden in her neighborhood. “New things are added each year, old things are moved around and displayed in new vignettes. It’s a mystery and awesome adventure each and every time I attend.”
Around a bend on the path sits an old door with shelf and mirror that add whimsy, depth, and reflection…
A delightful self made pond in the center of the gardens home fish, frogs, fountains and flowers…
One of the most intriguing features for me, besides the waterfall and the flowers, are the special little ” sit a spell and rest” areas…. here are a few that I have kicked my shoes off and rested before traveling on…
You, too, can create a shady paradise in your garden. Just borrow a cup of ideas!
Lattice and lights enhance this cozy seating area, perfect for a chat with a friend
A mosaic stand and gazing ball shows craftsmanship and unique interest along the garden paths
Add doors, shutters, and picket fences all together and it works for a wonderful cubby hole section in the curve of The Wickline’s pathway..
The STONE family and dog… How truly entertaining to walk these beautiful garden paths and run across little creations here and there, magically placed for the finding!
Sedum put on a pedestal, as every gardener knows it deserves that spot!
The many garden paths throughout the Wickline’s gardens all have their own personality and actually combine to make many types of gardens come together into one. This gravel and stone pathway is one of the ones which lead you to the end of the tour, back to your beginning destination, saying good bye to a truly wonderful potpourri of garden magic!
“Thank you for this opportunity to show FMG gardeners a beautiful place in central Ohio where the Wickline’s live, garden, and love.” Jeanie Merritt reporting….

Hi – I enjoy looking at everyone’s gardens and all the neat treasures. I was wondering – Do the Flea Market Gardeners do anything special to prepare for winter ? Do they take flower pots inside or leave everything outside during the winter ? Just wondering because I bring some of my flower pots into the garage. Thanks for sharing !!
I want to make a gazing ball for my outdoor fairy garden. Does anyone have a suggestion for what to use for the ball besides a bowling ball?
Love all the suggestions & pictures I am seeing on this site! Thanks
