nancy's secret garden

Through the gate of loveliness, 
and into Nancy's garden....


"June Gloom" and coastal drizzle can't 
stop this garden from glowing.  

A short walk from my house, 
Nancy's backyard is 
an oasis of unusual hydrangeas, hellebores, 
roses, wisteria, lavender, herbs, 
fruit trees and more!





















And check out Nancy's new kitchen here!

ciao! fabiana

    Your garden is fantastic and I love the shade of green you've painted furniture to complement the chartreuse flowers and foliage.
