Before she added her magic touch I struggled for 7+ years trying to get something to just grow there. I’d given up and it was a wreck. A few plants were “survivors” which she re-purposed to better locations. Nadia would come over with tons of cuttings from her own (gorgeous) backyard and thoughtful place each one into my yard. She also added her simple backyard projects, like the reclaimed painted step stone. She purchased only a very few new plants and bark, for a total cost of maybe $125.

My yard brings me happiness everyday now. I am enjoying soo much watching it grow and fill in each day. It has sparked an interest in doing more gardening myself and gets me away from my home office desk and outside in the yard daily.

I plan to let me garden grow and mature for the next year and then take cutting from my yard to help out someone else. Also, I’m going to make little terrariums from cuttings, like the one Nadia posted in her blog, for gifts this Christmas.

The garden that keeps on giving!
