From weeds and woods to blooms and butterflies
Today ’s GPOD comes from Michelle Mensinger:“I live in Derry , NH ( Zone 5b ) , and my married man and I have transformed our property into a garden Eden . We purchase the firm in 1983 , and it had no landscape gardening , just grass , weed , and woods . We built two koi pool and many garden beds , stonework , walls , itinerary , and planted beautiful shrubs , trees , perennial and wildflowers . Gardening is a honest passion for me , as the fruit of my labor are so rewarding . walk through the garden gives me peachy joyfulness and pacification . Every Clarence Day I notice the elusive change as the seasons blossom out . "
