Our Suburban Oasis

Pianolady in United States

We felt fortunate to get a .5 acre lot in suburbia, and have added several flower gardens, a blackberry patch, a small pond, and a vegetable garden.

Just awesome flowers & pond very relaxing

THis is gorgeous! I could spend all day hanging out in your yard!!

Very nice...It's obvious you spend a lot of time enjoying your garden. Beautiful!

Thank you for the kind remarks. The garden is about 10-12 years old now. I do take my own photos with a DSLR, tripod & various lenses. I enjoy the photography as much as the gardening.

ABSOLUTELY a stunning garden and landscape. I would also consider you a outstanding photographer. How old are you gardens? Your design captures nature at its finest. Thank you for posting an inspirational garden. Smiles, Lark
