Oh wow, that's simply amazing! I don't think I'd have the patience to make something like that unless on a smaller scale...MUCH smaller! lol Isn't it fascinating what some people can create, though? xoxo
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 4/5) 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.

What a display that would be to see in person. Amazing, aren't they? And to think how many plants are involved, wow!
I saw the owls when I first started on Pinterest. All of these are beautiful.
