Advice from the Owner

Gardens were added in 2022 and 2023. We used 50/50 soil, a mix of compost and soil. I believe this makes a huge difference in plant growth. We have been stunned with how quickly the plants grew and the gardens filled in. There are many bees and butterflies stopping by daily. We love the colors and scents.
