My little oasis!


The west side of the Koi Pond Garden is ablaze with the many blooms of pink and white coneflowers, blazing stars, dahlias, phlox, daylilies, butterfly bushes, salvia, cosmos, mini hollyhocks and more.  A fine buffet for the butterflies and bees!  The east side is cool and serene with a rock bench for relaxing.
