Photos of a Fun Serious Garden

by Meghan Lynch, Managing Editor

Here are a few more shots from Lynn and Jim's garden.

They have a tall hydrangea tree in the front corner of their yard, that gives some shade to this perennial bed. They grow a lot of variegated and golden-leaved plants here, which keeps the area bright and interesting even as plants go out of bloom. Inside the shade corner there's a spot to relax. Fun details pop up through out their garden.

Their lot sits on a corner, so they have a tall privacy fence along the side yard. The perennial border on the outside of the fence makes it no secret they are gardeners.

Inside the fence is another long, colorful border. The path leads around the deck to their sunny herb garden. Although they are serious gardeners, Lynn and Jim like to have fun, and aren't afraid to express that part of themselves in the garden, with ornaments and art. I like that.

I really love the perennial border and the art and ornaments add to the beauty of the garden!! Do you have any garden art yourself? Keep up the good work!!!!
