Gail sends just a few notes—along with some great photos.
The first round was of Cheryl English’s front yard—-She will send pics of her plants at a later time, but wanted to focus on just
what her “urban” yard is—wall to wall plants………..

We are in the back yard
the home of her “giants”. Here Gail showed some of The art work that
Cheryl displays in her garden. Many thought it would be a great
project for us to make the hypertoufa bench planters.

Gail send me photos from the Trenton garden tour. She says: “saw a lot of variety in the style of gardening
