Outdoor Sanctuary

Owner: Laskins Location: Bartow

It's pleasant to sit, dangling your feet in the koi pond and reading a good magazine. The overhead screens protect the fish and keep the bugs out. The sound of the waterfall is soothing after a hectic day of work. The best part is that the caladiums come up on their own and the garden is in full bl...

Cottage Garden update

Owner: Geraldine Dean Location: Hickory

Here are some pictures of my flowerbeds next to the house. I added a few new plants, and you can see how much the older plants have grown. You'll also get a better lay of the land, and see how much of a slope my garden is growing on. I added a few pics of what the garden looks like in between it's e...

Backyard on a budget

Owner: shell5470 Location: Sparks

When I bought my house 8 years ago the backyard was dust and weeds, fitting of the high desert I live in, but not very livable. Last year I started on one half of the yard and this year I am completing the second half. The yard has the full spectrum from full-sun to complete shade. ...

English Country Garden in Carlsbad, CA

Owner: allthatca Location: Carlsbad

I always say I "inherited" this garden when we bought the house 2 years ago. I really don't know much about gardening but I'm learning slowly but surely. Lots of Roses, fruit trees, Shasta Daisys, Pin cushions, Marguerite Daisies, Bearded Iris, Dahlias...

Hills, Trees and Wildlife

Owner: momdecor Location: Des Moines

We have 1.25 acres of hills too steep to have a riding lawnmower, trees and wildlife. I love our location, I just don't like the landscape of the backyard. I'm afraid of falling or my husband falling when he mows the lawn. Some of the photos attached are from 2005 when we purchased the property. (I ...

backyard

Owner: cornelia9000 Location: Swarthmore

A medium sized suburban backyard surrounded by invasive bamboo and a crappy old wood fence. We just moved in and it is time for a fix up! A large screened porch and shady deck divide the yard. We have part sun, part shade. We also have groundhogs, rabbits, deer, and foxes!...

My deck.

Owner: Heatherb1011 Location: ocean city

Herbs, veggies and some flowers. There is nothing more fun, rewarding and tasty but cooking with my own herbs and veggies just a few steps away from the kitchen. Dill, my fave, is especially useful in many summer recipes for deviled eggs, potato salad and even in burgers :)...
