Here is what I would love:  Your favorite plant in my new garden!  If it means something to you, it will mean something to me. I have all kinds of conditions available-sun, filtered sun, shade and I NEED PLANTS!

  • Plants for a cottage garden-all sizes and colors.  Love to have flowers for different seasons
  • Bulbs
