I didn’t make it there this year, but I’ve been in this garden in years past. I would kill to have a city yard this large. They’ve done a phenomenal job with it.

Shirley,
Thanks for commenting. I understand that bamboo can be quite invasive and take over if you don’t corral it, so you may have a lot of raw material to work with!

Melissa, I think you & your hubby Bill have created a beautiful yard with so many pretty things Just wish it were possible to see it all in person! If your hubby is anything like mine; he probably won’t notice the Serviceberry bush!I love the trellis you created, Melissa.It gives me an idea; my son has bamboo growing near his house.Congrats on all your hard work..it shows you love what you do!!!

Annie and Phyllis,
You are absolutely right. It’s even more beautiful when you see it in person.
Thanks for your comments.
