Sin Garden to Zen Garden
Over the past few months I have gained an interest in gardening. 5 years ago my husband and I moved into our home. The previous owners had nothing but time on their hands. They had created a beautiful garden in the backyard and had done an impeccable job on all of the landscaping. Not knowing how to care for the numerous plants, flowers, small trees and segos we let time and weeds take over. I had tried a couple of times to maintain but it took a lot of work. So eventually we started pulling it all out. Towards the end of last year (Nov 2008) I decided to transform the backyard into a relaxing place once again… one project at a time. Through this process I am hoping to learning as much as I can about gardening. So far, I have found that weeding, mulching and planting trees are my favorite activities to do in my garden.
