Tasteful Garden Décor
My mother-in-law came for the first time and stayed with us for a couple of weeks. What I thought was going to be misery was actually a wonderful and enjoyable time! Since this was the first visit after our marriage, I hoped to impress with my home and cooking but the real hit was my gardening and garden décor skills. My mother-in-law spent almost as much time outside in the yard as she did in our home.
Though I knew she loved to be outdoors I was surprised at how much she knew about the plants we had planted. My husband had never told me she was a Master Gardener! I was astounded as she walked through the garden giving me little tips and tricks of knowledge about how and what to grow. She smiled when she saw I used iron trellises as she told me a story about her grandmother’s garden and how it was full of ironwork. Though she wasn’t sure if it were true or not, her grandmother said iron helped the flowers grow and I know better than to question a woman’s grandmother; especially when it’s my mother-in-law!
