Our Secret Garden

Our "Secret Garden".......
I think you will appreciate Our Secret Garden when you see the before pictures below......on the side of our home was a catch all ...from old swing sets to stuff we just didn't use waiting to be thrown our...not to mention the Pet Cemetery...we had many funerals with various pets back here.....I think that is why all the plants do so well back here in Our Secret Garden.....
when the kids were grown we just had more time to do things...so a few years ago this was one of our many projects......Hubby and I work well together.....he always thinks this will be the last project...but I always come up with something else.....I am now on a gazebo kick....but that is another story.....
on the left side that is Hubby's...he plants anything he wants there...he loves reds and yellows and I am a pink person....so I have the right side and I love ferns and anything with Pink.....we do have just a little work to do here for summer in this part of our garden.....but for the most part it stays a secret...Hubby and I have our coffee during the summer back here....and here are the Before pictures.....a real mess......

I put a old door on the back of the storage shed and an arbor.....
and the windy brick path......

was a lot of work but so worth it.....
all I need now is a sign that says "SECRET GARDEN"
...I am on the hunt for one...
Have a wonderful day,
Hugs,
Mo ;-)

What a fabulous transformation. Your yard must be really beautiful in the summer months. It looks as if all your sprucing up is paying off in a big way! I'm loving the pictures.

Have a great day!

What a beautiful space...and such a difference! It looks like a wonderful place to hide out and relax!

Hi Mo:
I can tell that you've put a lot of work into your yard. I think it's pretty neat that you and your hubby each have your own planting areas. It looks so nice, what a difference from what you started with.

said...

Wow Mo, what a transformation. It is absolutely delightful!

FEDERICA said...

Hello Mo, a lot of work! It looks soooo pretty!! I would like to have a space like this!

Love your creativity by putting the door on the back of the shed. Now instead of a fairly unused side yard its a destination.

Oh Mo, I can't say enough how charming this looks. It shows you and your husband had put a lot of work into this space. Everything is so pretty inside and outside of your home!

Enjoy your weekend-

DEAR MO,
AWESOME....I LOVE THE BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES AND I LOVE WHAT YOU DID TO THE SHED. I THINK THAT ALOT DESERVES A SHOUT OUT WITH PICTURES FROM COUNTRY ROMANTIC AND DIY AND ALL THOSE THINGS...BETTER HOMES AND GARDEN...THAT WAS SOME LABOR OF LOVE YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND DID TO MAKE THAT SECRET GARDEN...THAT WOULD BE A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO SET AND WRITE IN YOUR JOURNAL.
HUGS MO
GREAT POST

That is an amazing transformation. I thought it was the front of the shed, I was sure surprised to read it was the back. Clever idea to make it look like it is the front. Love how your secret garden looks.
