Garden Memories

I'm looking forward to having a cottage garden again one day.

These are photo's of the garden my Hubby and I  

made when we lived in the city.

This was by far the ugliest house on the block when my husband bought it in 1999. Nearly 4 years later we built on the covered porch, put up the picket fence and arbor and started planting the gardens. Five years later we moved.

Now we live in a little Farm Cottage with no cottage garden.

Yet.

This was a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the garden and the fragrance from the roses. Most were from David Austin and if you are lucky enough to have some of his roses you know what I'm talking about.

These pictures were taken a couple of years before the roses had covered the trellis at the end of the porch.

David Austin roses in the garden were

1) Abraham Darby

2) Sombreuil

3) Zepherine Drouhin

4) Mme Isaac Pereire

5) Anne Boleyn

I am joining Mary at Little Red House for Mosaic Monday.

I hope you will stop over to Mary's and see all the other wonderful Mosaics she has to show you. 

Enjoy your gardens if you have one and if not...I hope you have one in your future.

Have a wonderful week!

Maura :)
