This month, Alison wants us to share our gardens. I am participating only because I like Alison ;P We really do no have a very pretty garden because of our sloped property (we are hugging the side of a mountain). I do look forward to visiting with everyone else who links up. I am prepared to be very envious of your pretty (level) gardens! :D
Welcome to our front garden!
We have a retaining wall with knockout roses and Leland cyprus trees on the left side of our property.
Mr. Art @ Home likes as much lawn as possible. He does not want anything out front to soften our retaining wall, either, because we would have to take up some of the grass!
Our sidewalk steps are flanked with succulent-filled urns.
See the grade of our property!
You can tell that I love petunias and million bells!
I have had lots of success with succulents!
I hope you will join Alison at The Polo House for Favorites on the First!
Until next time...
Blessings!
Ricki Jill
Very Beautiful gardens, and I love the wreath!
ReplyDeleteRicki Jill, you don't need to be envious of any garden. Your's is gorgeous! Love the levels and gently sloping lawn. Each urn and flower pot filled with color ~ I could spend hours in this lovely garden. Thanks for taking us on a stroll. ~ Sarah

You are too funny, Ricki Jill!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the intro and for joining in.... and your home, your property and YOUR GARDENS are just LOVELY!
You are too modest, gf!
It is meticulously maintained and I am guessing you must have some fabulous views being up high.
Your deck looks so pretty, Ricki Jill!
You always say you have a little cottage.... that is no cottage! You live in a big gorgeous home!
You make me smile.
And that succulent wreath is just fantastic!
Thanks so much for sharing.
Love ya!

Ricki Jill, Your home and lawn are beautiful. Everything is so lush and green and the flowers are stunning. All my flowers have bloomed and withered. I love a home built on a slope with different levels. Our last home before moving here was on a slope and I loved it. Your roses with the cyprus as a backdrop, gorgeous! What a way to welcome your guests. Thanks for sharing RJ, have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteRicki Jill,
ReplyDeleteYour yard and home are wonderful. The landscape is beautiful. I would think the embankment would be a challenge but it's wonderful.

Excuse me, where is this not so nice garden you were talking about? All I'm seeing is just this really "disgustingly" beautiful landscape! OMGoodness, Ricki Jill, your lush green, & sloping lawn with the lovely brick wall is all so gorgeous. I adore your succulent wreath. Oh, and the hydrangeas are beautiful!

I can only repeat what others have said; your garden is really lovely. The roses by the wall are special.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is simply beautiful and I love your hydrangea bushes. I had to look through the pictures a couple times to take it all in. Gorgeous!
