I feel the need to wave my magic garden wand this spring. Our small side yard garden has been so magical for 15 years while our kids were growing up. Â The magic of Sally the Scarecrow(below), bean teepees, and low growing touchy feely herbs has been a delight for me(and my children!).
Time to sprinkle a little Pixie dust on the garden. We won’t forget the child like wonder, but I need to fill the void for whimsy and surprise as one of our birds leaves the nest.
I took a drive tonight past one of the gardens that will be on the Sacred Heart Garden Festival tour next week. The tiny front yard garden is full of twists, turns, contortions and angles that will confuse some, but delight others–like me.
My search is for a maze that will slow things down, an Alice in Wonderland garden all grown up. I almost stopped this evening as I saw the homeowner pruning and primping the plants with his magic wand.
I will wait with excitement, and that will be my first stop next Friday morning.
Magic.
Blessings from the Garden.
