Life’s a garden, dig it!

Eclectic garden filled with herbs, vegetables (including an asparagus bed and root vegetables), pollinators, recycled and repurposed art (made by Jim Curlin), butterfly haven and a shade garden. Our yard is filled with several seating areas and much love. We grow vegetables all four seasons, and make a point of trying something new every year.

Favorite Garden Tip: To garden organically, we use companion planting along with bone meal and cayenne pepper ( and dogs) to keep critters away.
