Welcome to my cottage garden.
AND to the garden within the garden.....my "secret garden".
This is the entrance that beckons you in.
Inside you will find richly scented roses, daisies, purple spikes, yarrows, and lots of other surprises to delight your senses.
I'm working on a brick path that leads through the garden.
It's small, but full of delightful flowers, butterflies, bumble bees, and hummingbirds to entertain you.
In just a few days the hollyhocks will be open, causing an even lovelier experience as you venture through the secret garden.
I thought I'd show you the Peace Roses, too.
They just started to bloom.
These are the only red roses here at my cottage.
They are beauties!
Here we are....back at the entrance to the garden.
You can see where I've started with a few bricks for the path.
I've never been a formal-type gardener. I love the look of the Monet Inspired Gardens you see in California. Like a floral fireworks display of kind, and color.Once the hollyhocks burst open...I will be showing them off...they are gorgeous!!!
Have a wonderful Thursday.

this is all so lovely!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Looking forward to seeing the pathway project unfold...
ReplyDeleteOh my Debbie...how breathtakingly beautiful your garden is! The little pathway sounds lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think that awful winter you had was so worth it. Just look at all those blooms going on there.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty...wish you lived closer so you could help me!

The brickwork will be lovely. LOVE the peace roses!
ReplyDeleteDebbie- Your gardens are just beautiful. I am ashamed to even show my own this year- I have not had any outside time to work on them at all. I bet the scents from there are just amazing. Wish I lived closer to sit a spell with you and enjoy the fragrance. xo Diana

ReplyDeleteWhat a vibrant, colorful border! You must be enjoying the blooms!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your flowers are just gorgeous, Debbie! I am in love with the foxglove and roses. And Veronica, too. I used to grow it at my old house, but I don't have any luck with it here. You sure do have a green thumb!
