    Hi

    I am working on getting some pictures up loaded, but in the mean time...I moved my family into my parents home 4 years ago. My dad had run a greenhouse with a lot of wildflowers such as ladyslippers for sale. He passed away 5 years ago and my mom needed help, so we moved in. Since then I had been re-arranging the beds he had from straight rows of one thing to cottage style beds with a beautiful chaos. My daughter (14years) tells me that when she gets married she wants to have the reception in our yard...that gives me about 10 years to get it ready. :rolleyes: The real challenge is that I am doing this with what is already there and sharing perannals in the fall with my gardening friends. Very low budget, but very rewarding.

    Hi Becky, how are you? Is it hot up your way? Welcome to this friendly place. Can't wait to see what your spaces look like -- I like the thought of beautiful chaos and all of your inherited plants and garden habit!

    Hi there Becky. Even here in Scotland the temperatures are so much hotter than is usual for this time of year at around 24 degreesC.
    I'd love to see photographs of your 'beautiful chaos' as it sounds just the thing that I'd love. :stew1:

    Welcome from SW Michigan.

    Pretty part of the state and cold winters I understand.

    Hope we can help.
