My garden never used to be anything but a place my children could play. I was never excited about flower beds or hanging baskets, it just simply wasn’t me.

It is just stunning.

This rose has spurred a new interest for me and now look what else I have.

 

 

Who knows maybe I do have greenfingers after all.
