Spring is my favorite season! I love to be outside after the long, cold, colorless winter, and I've developed a real need to "dig in the dirt."
I hope you enjoy this "virtual tour" of my ever-changing gardens!
But hey--sometimes it's a real jungle out there!

Cica's Garden
This is a memorial garden for my soulmate kitty, Cica, who died in April 2002 at the age of 20. Blueberry bushes, a bleeding heart and impatiens are planted here. In 2005 three astilbes, Cranesbill "Brookside", an azalea, Anemone "Honorine Jobert" and a columbine were added.
I think this picture of ripe blueberries is the most popular image on my website!
Over the years it's been used (with permission) by a magazine in New England, by Kohr Bros.®, and in a horticulture book.
