While surfing around the net I came across a picture gallery of a garden that is truly gorgeous. Thought maybe you all would enjoy a look see and the chance to steal some ideas. Wish mine looked like this. She said she will be revising the photo gallery next week to include plant names.

Oops...forgot to mention that after you go through the first set of photos you will need to click on one of the photos on the left to start the next set. There are over 60 photos in the gallery!

Wow Vikki that is great....thanx!!!! Got some more ideas. Gosh I only have a 1/3acre I am going to have to move!!!! Let me know when she puts the name of the plants and also what state she lives in????

Vikki,
Thanks for that garden, I think I will be
taking peaks at that come winter time,
and spring time and crying at it in summmer time,
when mine doesn't look like that!!!
AWESOME!!!!!

Now, could anyone go and name the
flowers/plants in each picture???

Here is some info regarding this spectacular garden. Notice what this gardener does for a living!! Hey Catlover, did you see the pretty kitty at the bottom of the 12th photo?
---------------------------------------------

"I'm a decorative artist who is also an obsessive/compulsive gardener. I primarily grow perennials and have many border and island beds throughout our city property. WE are challenged with having a very rocky lot and we can't put in a flower bed without first digging out the boulders (yes I mean boulders, NH is known as the granite state) We've used most of these rocks to build raised beds and terraced our hill to create a large perennial bed. We also put in an ornamental pond a couple of years ago and it is a lovely addition to the gardens.

I live in: New Hampshire My zone is: z5Southern NH"

Vikki I spotted the kitty really quick....they are like visual magnets for me! Oh he? is beautiful...the markings are so defined!!!!

Sure wish I had those rocks....mine is granite but you literally need a jack hammer to dig. And that is no joke! Saw some guys 2 days ago using a jack hammer and it almost looked like it had a shovel type thing on the end. Sorry I didn't go look better! Deliver some Soil Science Journals to a soil conservation place yesterday so I will go back there when I have time and ask them some ?'s.
Keep us updated when she puts tags on those plants!!!!

Catlover,

Know what you mean about the rocks. I'd love to have 2 or 3 like she has. We have no rocks in our soil here, but I'm not complaining...I can always bring in what I want...better than having to dig them out. I was back at garden web.com today and found the plant plan for her driveway border. You can see it here - once you get to the site scroll down.

There are 36 different plants in the border!!

Vikki,
Can you repost the URL,
I got "Could not find page"

Weezie

Weezie,
"The Garden Helper" must not allow you to copy a .com address. It puts **** where the .com should be. If you take the address and type in garden web.com but don't leave a space between garden and web it should work. If you still have trouble let me know. I know just enough about computers to be dangerous. Is the URL the www address?

Weezie,
What am I saying...dot com addresses are all over this site with no problem. Duh. If you type the words garden web.com altogether with no spaces it will come up as *******. Maybe Bill can help.

I allow links to .coms if the site serves a purpose...... but I don't allow links to garden web or any of spikeys other enterprises, so if you want to send someone there you will have to post it the way you did this time. Sorry!

Bill,
No problem. Who is spikey and what are the other enterprises? Don't want to do this again.

Vikki sorry I wish I was here to intercept and let you know that is "THE EVIL" sight we don't go to here!!!! As far as we know that is the only one. Don't worry about it....I made the same mistake awhile back when I was doing some mystery research.LOL

Just never let it happen again.

Oh, I look at those, then look at mine...
