“Like housework, a garden is never done.”

Wise words from Jennifer of Three Dogs in a Garden.

Not only is she an avid gardener, she also is an amazing photographer capturing her friends and neighbors gardens in all of their glory.

 

Here, Jennifer takes us on a tour of the charming garden of her friend Beth and it starts on a patriotic front porch.

  1. Loved the tour, I’m headed straight to the garden,while all the ideas are fresh in my mind…. What a fun way to start the day….. Blessings………………….

  2. Absolutely loved the tour! So many fun things to look at. The recycling, all the climbing vines and pond…amazing. We have storms coming in tonight, so the bugs drove me in from my garden. Had to refill the hummingbird and butterfly feeders. Gotta keep them happy! Always enjoy your posts Kelly…

  3. I always enjoy the tours you feature no matter what tour is of. So many gardening ideas if person is so inclined. Get the urge but then it seems to wane when it gets too hot out. Later when it’s cooler the skeeters are out in droves, Allergic to bug spray so don’t get out much in evening even tho it’s one of favorite times to be out, that and early mornings.
    Is anybody else leaning towards being ready for Fall? Seems like once the kids start school I ‘m thru with summer. Shame on me. I do like winter even tho I can’t hang laundry out then. Love to hang laundry out. We almost always have good breeze so laundry dries pretty quickly. Happy weekend Kelly

  4. I am such a fan of antique accents in the garden, + I think that less is definitely more. These examples are all very tasteful + well-done!
