I've Been in your garden, and I know just how lovely it is! It's a tranquil spot to relax and enjoy time with friends. As always though, it's even more beautiful in person, with the gardener describing it.:thumbsup:
I'm so pleased your garden was "toured"! Hurray!
I wish I'd known to put my hen&chicks ball in the garden to overwinter, because mine did not survive. I'd put it in a sheltered place, but it was up off the ground and it must have frozen. Rolling my eyes.

Thanks Susan. If you plant another ball, it has a better chance of surviving our winters on the ground for sure.

I'll have to get more hen & chicks! Mine didn't survive too well in the ground either this year (shelted part of the garden) so I don't know what's wrong there?!

I have also been to visit Joanne's gardens,
and they are even more beautiful than pictures can show.
Her garden always inspires me to go home and try harder on my own!
