I was thinking about my new garden and how it all came to be and how much creating it is like writing a book.
I didn’t know anything about California Native Plants when started it so I went and got a bunch of books and read and read and then I read some more. Then I joined a native plant discussion group and listened to people share their stories. And I visiting gardens and took notes on what I saw. Then I came home and read some more.
And out of the research a garden took shape. Just like a book.
I love your pictures! The garden looks wonderful – very natural and the stone work is lovely and looks much more roomy for the dog. Also – the rock fountain – awesome.
