tour of the grounds...

Last year around this time we removed all the old, overgrown shrubs in front of our house along with the river rock and landscaped with a mix of yews, hydrangeas, rhododendrons, and a few other things.  I was looking back at the pictures I took then and was surprised at how much bigger everything has gotten.  We also added a little garden in the backyard and planted dogwoods and boxwoods. I think this year I'll try and add a few more perennials to add a little color. I'm really happy with all the gardens this year, most of the perennials are in their third year, and it makes a huge difference.
