Mimima's Garden *Graphic Intensive*

I have been mentioning here and there - perhaps just in comments when admiring other's gardens - that I wanted to doa picture post of my mother garden. The time as finally arrived! (and Mimima is what my daughter and her other grandchildren affectionately call her)

Just a couple of notes about my mother's garden:

• It was originally professionally landscaped, but my mother keeps it up - and the plants have been changed out several times since it was done. So - imagine the concrete and such as what the landscapers contributed - everything else was her. (or her neighbor - who helps her when she is out of town)
• The water ficture is clorinate - she did used to have a koi pond there - but the upkeep was tremendous - so she gave away the koi and converted it to a chlorinated bond. Less maintanence, and less frogs - so she is happy.
• The top part of the waterfall is very dry - the rest of the garden stays moist. This has presented special problems when deciding what to plant.
• None of these pictures truly do the garden justice. One of these days I will figure out how to do a panoramic view thingy in windows (that darn 6 year old on the TV commercial knows how!)
• Please click on the pictures below if you want to see a larger one.
• Yes - that is my daughter in one of the pictures. She loves to help Mimima in the garden.
