The Path Garden

A nice person asked me to send these two pictures in so people could see the difference from our side of the path and the other side of the green belt. This path runs through from our block to the school. And children and parents and others use it as a short cut. People from other areas come to walk/ride bikes and many walk their dogs through this brown belt.

Oh Vi, I sit here almost mesmerized looking at all of the beautiful colors in your corner of the world. It is absolutely breath-taking! And my Irises did beautifully again this year and they are spreading. Yea. I am so happy!
Thanks for sharing your "green thumb" with all of us.
Love and hugs to you and Leonard.

I am so very happy you submitted both photos GGVi! :-) You have worked so hard for years on your portion of the path to keep it looking beautiful for all to enjoy and you don't even have to and you do it with your time and expense! God bless you and a huge thumbs up :-)

Garden: Painting Left For The "Secret" Path Garden

Painting in Secret GardenI heard voices in the garden and opened the gate to find a little girl signing my guest book. She had brought the painting to the garden with her dad. She had set it on the ground near a big rock.

The Dad said her older sister had asked them to bring her painting to "the secret garden" for her. I was very touched that a child would paint a picture for the garden and told them we would put a frame on it and hang it for everyone to see.

One day I'll have to let you take a peek at the nice things people say in the guest book.

Garden: Gifts For The Path Garden

Some one has left garden art at the Path garden and at our gate. One day, we had this angel at the gate, and another that was left with a broken head that had been fixed and a leg in pieces left on a tree stump. DH fixed it enough to put back in the greenery. And they left a fish across from the gate. I love surprises.

Surprise for the Path Garden

Two Praying StatuesAnother surprise tucked away in the garden today. These look to be wooden dolls, but may be resin. I picked up one and the far hand is missing. So I sat it back and will go look tomorrow and glue them down where they were left, on the ladder.

Garden: Iris Bed on the Path Garden

Iris Bed in Path GardenWe are working to make a new iris bed on the "Path Garden". This spot was damaged some by the renters in the house next to this short wall. They cut many braches of the trees in their yard and dumped them over the fence onto the plants. So we've decided to add some donated tiles to make it a home for bearded iris. We're hoping the iris will do well here.

Also here is a photo of seed planted by great granddaughter in a stump in the garden.

Two ladies came to my door thanking me for the garden. One told me her husband had died 4 weeks ago and would it be all right if she planted a rose bush in his memory in the garden.


Here is a pretty flower form "The Path Garden", still don't know the name of it though.


Here are some 2010 photos of "The Path Garden". Yes, I am still able to keep this corner of my world blooming.
