Newark Garden Tour ~ 2013
Yesterday, June 8th, was the Newark Garden Tour sponsored by the Newark Arts Alliance. Fourteen amazing gardens were open for visiting and made for a day of inspiration. This diverse collection of gardens covered the gamut from vegetable gardens, habitat gardens, sculpture gardens, water gardens, to sunny and shade gardens. There was definitely something for

Garden Walk ~ June 1st
Hotter than Hades the last few days, in the 90’s, and the flowers and I are wilting fast! Hopefully, tomorrow’s predicted rain will materialize and cool us all down again. So, a quick stroll to capture the blooms of the day as they may not hang on for long in this heat. And

May Garden ~ Birdhouses & Flowers
In looking around the garden, I see a theme has developed. It’s all about the birds and flowers. With approximately one hundred birdhouses, I suppose my collection is now nearing intervention status! Some are decorative and some are functional with clean-outs, but long ago I found out the birds are the ones who decide

DIY Project ~ Mother’s Day Fairy Garden
Just in time for a Mother’s Day project, I found a cracked birdbath sitting in a neighbor’s curbside trash. I have been saving little bits of things to make some fairy gardens and this just plopped into my lap (actually the front passenger seat of my car). Although it looks more extensive, this

The Merry, Merry Month of May!
It is the beginning of May and spring is here to stay finally! No wonder it is called “The Merry, Merry Month of May”! Time for the annual pilgrimage to Groff’s Plant Farm with my buddy, Renee, and filling the car with all sorts of interesting new plants to add to our gardens.

Spring Is Here! Early Spring Blossoms
In just two weeks time, our garden has gone from snow flurries to eighty degrees! And, with the warmth comes the glory of spring. Everything is growing so fast, I can see a difference from morning to nightfall in many plants. Here are some of the lovely early spring blooms that we are enjoying

Spring Snow ~ March 25th! The Groundhog lied!
Here it is March 25th and snowing to beat the band outside! That groundhog lied his head off! But, it is pretty, so I grabbed my camera and went out to capture a few shots of this year’s last snowfall (I hope!) I must admit that the snow makes a lovely backdrop, even

A Trip Down Memory Lane ~ My Former Garden
Today I’m taking you with me on a trip down memory lane to my former garden. Our brick split-level sat on a seventy-five by one hundred foot lot in a development established in the 1950s and looked pretty much like all the other homes around us. Over the course of thirteen years, using landscaping
