Oh I want to go to see the Eden Project. It looks absolutely facinating. I'm especially interested in the rain forest Biodome. I know I won't be happy in the real rain forest, with all the bugs and other critters so I enjoy the 'controlled' rain forest. The Eden Project said they had drinking water available and something about a cool room. Sounds like I can really enjoy that place. It also mentioned that the 'core' ceiling was built with Fibonacci Numbers in Nature. I'd like to see that. BTW, the Omaha Zoo, of all places has an excellent rain forest biodome. I've been there and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the post. Here is a link that might be useful: Omaha zoo

"Now I am off to read an old article I saved on Cottage Gardens...who knew I would ever need it LOL." ME!!! hahahaha!!! : ) I am so happy you'll be partaking in this style of gardening. And I'm really looking forward to seeing the results. So glad you're keeping the picket fence, too. Nothing says cottage like a picket fence. : ) A shade tolerant rose you might want to consider is Therese Bugnet. I'll link you to a pic of mine. She was young here and in the shade. Now she's in the sun and not liking it much so she's on the list to be moved. She is a rugosa with lovely pinkish-lilac blooms. Btw, did you get your shelves in the kitchen? I haven't been online much - vacation and lots of spring cleaning, inside and out. I've done so much painting that the fumes feel permanently imbedded in my nose. Still have the butler pantry/laundry room to go . . . sigh . . . I'm desperately seeking that light at the end of the tunnel. Hugs, Diana Here is a link that might be useful:

Thanks everyone! I think I like it a lot? It's different and "unique" it adds its own something special to my hosta garden for sure! I wasn't sure I would like it so I debated on it for a few minutes but $5 was too good a deal to pass up just because of some barely noticeable frost damage! I relocated it into Luna Moth's old pot. It's bigger. I ordered Cherry Berry today, so I'll need the smaller one I had it in for her. The pot it's in now should (hopefully) last a couple of years? I put it in front because it says it's more sun tolerant. If that's wrong, I can always move it later but for now, it's good.
