  1. Your garden is looking so lovely! Your Gunnera is perfection! I planted one years ago, and all it did was fade away to nothing.

    1. Thank you Alison! My first one also died - I planted it in fall, and that winter was very wet.

  6. Oh my gosh! A beautiful woodsy, secret garden. I LOVE it and could spend quite some time in there wandering around looking at everything, ooohing and aaahing and taking pictures. I don't see how you keep up with it all. Your gardens also look 'cool' temperature wise. I know you enjoy them each and every day and what a joy they are to you and all who visit. Love your different statues, etc. too. Your canine friend looks like he is enjoying himself also.

    Happy Summer ~ FlowerLady

    1. Steve, it's so nice of you to leave a comment! There are times when I look at the garden and question myself - what was I doing for 12 years? It looks like I spent first several years doing nothing essential in the garden and could do much more. Your comment makes me feel good and helps me to realize that it takes time to become a gardener, and that I was learning and growing together with my garden.
      Thank you very much!

  14. Tatyana, your garden is remarkable. I especially love the red honeysuckle, the clematis and the jasmine vines. And all the other wonderful flowers and fabulous foliage. And the noble dog who watches over it all!
