Garden Party

Welcome to A Garden Party!

Today I'm joining in Kimba's Garden Party at A Soft Place To Land.
These are some spring images from my garden, hope you enjoy!!!

This is a little patio we made earlier this spring by laying out salvaged bricks from a torn down 1920's house in town in a rectangle shape. Next we added weed barrier over the ground, and put pea gravel on top. Too easy! This wasn't an expensive project at all, especially since I salvaged the bricks myself (with permission of course)!

We added some comfortable outdoor seating and some pots with pansies (here in the south, pansies are planted in the fall, and last until late spring/early summer). It's a great place to relax and watch the kids play in the backyard!!

I just love roses, don't you?!!
I grow Knockout roses, and love how they are disease resistant and very hardy! These roses also rebloom all spring through fall long!!! You can bet I'll be planting these at our new house as well!

Here's a little seating area we created in the garden bed. This is a spring picture when the beautiful creeping phlox were blooming! Love these! They stay mostly evergreen the rest of the year. After the phlox finished blooming, the Knockout rose bushes behind them burst into bloom! I love sitting here, it's such a sweet, calming little spot!

Since we're moving in a month, I won't be doing any more garden projects here, but I know I'll have fun this fall planting some things at the new house! I've done the landscape design and planting at all of our homes, and it's something that I really enjoy! :)

It's been so rainy here lately, so I still need to get a sunny day to take pictures of my summer blooming plants to show you! The most beautiful coneflowers, daylilies, hydrangea, etc!!!

Have a wonderful day!
