Jelly Bean Garden lawn

Standing on the pond decking looking back at the house, you can see how full of growth the Jelly Bean Border has become. This garden was my second digging project, and many of the shrubs were shifted in from other places on the property.

I remember the nor-west winds blowing gales through here in the garden's early years, flattening the foxgloves and upending the new roses in the pond side borders. These were the days before the trees in the Jelly Bean Garden had bulked out.

A really nice thing about the Jelly Bean Garden is that the surrounding lawns tend to stay green in the middle of summer!
