Garden Spotlight: Kimberly

As a gardener, I LOVE seeing other people's gardens. My friend Kim's garden is no exception. She is so artistic and creative and it really shows in her yard. I love how she lets plants grow a little wild and informal. Here are some highlights.

I am such a sucker for arbors and this one ins no
 exception.
The perennials blooming around it are just perfect. 

My daughter just loved playing in Kim's Garden.
I'm not a big fan of lots of  non-plant decor but Kim's
over sized mushrooms are lots of fun. 

Kim has lots of shade so this variety of hosta plants are a great call.
Hostas are a great low-maintenance plant for shade. 

Ah, the lady herself. Probably my favorite part of her garden is her hand
made waddle fence around her herb garden. Waddle fences are historical and
very attractive. Someday I'll get around to building one myself. 

Not to be outdone, the front yard gets more sun and consequently,
is a great home for lavender. If you have a sunny dry spot, do yourself a favor
and plant some lavender. 

Who's garden do you enjoy visiting? What do you admire most about other's gardens? Feel free to post in the comments below.
