This past Friday I found out that my garden has been awarded first prize in our village’s annual garden contest, and I’m delighted and most appreciative!
I think most gardeners would agree that the pleasure received from hours spent nurturing and caring for one’s garden stems from the personal satisfaction each of us derives from watching something grow into a thing of beauty. And knowing that we along with mother nature were responsible for this is reward enough.
So receiving this recognition from my community for my garden is especially meaningful to me and a real bonus.
Each year I try to do something a bit different in my gardens, and this year is no different. Here are some photos from this year…
