Gretchen’s new low water garden is full of suprises! We added a seasonal garden that requires little water. Along with textures I added the California Blue Iris which Gretchen calls a ‘gift’! We had fun adding different plants that come and go in the garden. Gretchen enjoyed so much she sent me this picture

 Birds were dancing in the Birch trees. The windchime moved softly in the breeze… and I wanted to stay all day!

Sherri needed a small patio near the playhouse for the grandkids to sit and enjoy. A Quick Patio was installed to keep it easy and cheap!

Dear Kathy and Crew–Thank you so much for Monty the Turtle’s little pond!

We love his  pond too.  The sound of the waterfall near the bedroom window lulls Don and I  to sleep each night. Monty seems to think he is Hawaii– wondering around his private oasis.

Thanks so much for all your time and effort.

Fondly– Cindy,Don (and Monty!)

Lot’s of annuals and perennials line the new walkway and new front porch of this lovely Rossmoor home.

 Not a greenthumb..(shhh…we do the maintenance for her!) …Cathy spends her time with a glass of ice tea and takes time to enjoy the bountiful color in her garden!
