When life knocks on your door, you best pay attention. I had the opportunity and I paid attention. See that white gate. Well let me tell you something about that white gate. On the other side of it is an 82 year old woman who has the vision, strength and love, to put together the most magnificent of gardens! And, best of all, she shared it!
I will never do justice to what this woman has created. She has carved out about 12 different theme gardens, one after another, with such detail and style. The meandering paths lead you from one garden to the next and you have to look in every nook and cranny to catch all that she has tucked away ... there to surprise you!
She carried the stone, gathered and laid the bricks, planted the plants, placed the statues .. well, you get it. And, remember, she is 82 years old and going strong!
Each piece has a history, that she so willingly shares.
I am going to share the gardens and the property over the next few days. Believe me, it's worth the trip back to the blog to get the whole picture ... or at least what I was able to capture in a quick visit.
I am truly inspired. (Thanks NJC and Mrs U ..... boy am I glad I answered the door.)
