Thanks for the nice comments everyone. The sitting garden started out with me just wanting a little bridge over the drain area that runs out from our garage. I was afraid someone was going to run around the house and twist their ankle in the dip that was forming. So my husband and I built the bridge, he dug out the drainage area a little more and filled it in with rocks. Then one thing led to another and this is what we ended up with. I would rather have put in some other type of material for the walkway, but these square pavers was simpler. My husband does a lot of the work, so I didn't want to ask him to do a walkway with a bunch of bricks, although I think that would have been more subtle and natural. Someday, it will be filled in and the plants will soften up the blocks to where they don't have such a cold look to them. Vickie

Hey you! If I didn't see you everyday, maybe I would meet with you to trade seeds. Just wanted to tell you to keep your eyes open for white pine saplings for a good price as you venture out to the garden centers and HD. I need 2-3 foot tall trees if possible and probably about 10-12 of them to do what I want to do. Have a good weekend!

Hello Lainey, I am located in West Central Indiana, and I shop at Dogwood Farms, in Brazil, (ONLY HOSTAS) and Cox's Plant Farm in Clayton. Both have an extremely large selection of Hostas, however, Dogwood Farms is only open 2 times a year, Their fall sale will be coming up in September if you are interested in strolling up this way.

Yes, we have some truly beautiful and unique gardens in the Midwest. One need only look for them, and they can be found in nearly every major and some not so big cities. The "coasts" should know that the Midwest is more than just a "fly over zone" when it comes to beautiful gardens! I have to be back in Indianapolis this year (for business) and will make a point of looking up as many of these gardens as I can. MacThayer
