PURPLE DELIGHT

This colorful, purple and white  house and garden is lovingly tended by Barry + Betty Thomas.  They love concrete materials and have mixed statuary and flowers for a striking garden.  4 concrete lions mark the entrance to the house. Each season, they change out the annual flowers and add decorations for the holidays.

Garden Philosophy: We like to use recycled objects in our garden. My husband, Barry, made our birdbath out of a found base. Then he used a tire to cast the basin in concrete.  The front porch is painted to mimic the tile of the walkway and steps.

Favorite Garden Tip : I prefer plants that don’t need to be spoiled. I  cut my roses down every September so they’ll bloom prolifically in the summer.
