3rd Season's a Charm?

by Erica

I have struggled to find the right look for an area in front of our house. I have also struggled to keep what I think is the right look from dying. I know very little about gardening and landscaping. I do know the look that I am going for---but I am unwilling to spend that kind of money to get there.

Well, a new family came to our church this past Sunday. We got to talking and found out that she is an expert gardener. She plants flowers and tends other people's gardens for a living. She ended up coming by our house and came up with a plan for the area that I mentioned above...for free!

I have spent all week trying to find the types of plants that she said would grow well here. I just finished planting 7 new flowers and shurbs. Hopefully, this will be the last time I have to replant this area. Now, if only I can remember to water it.
