About Me
- Zoey
- Michigan, United States
- I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently. During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings. I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

Beautiful Zoey. I would love to walk through your gardens and sit in that nice seating area under the shade with my tea. When is a good time. LOL
Taracotta
Just give me time to run out and wash that table, taracotta (it gets pretty grungy back there with all the pine needles dropping on it). Will that be hot tea or iced tea?
A patch of paradise....
