Secret Gardens and THE 100 YEAR OLD MINT

Often, I post about my herb garden or more, about my vegetables and fruit growing gardens. Tucked away, in a hidden corner of my yard, is a little oasis. We can sit on the porch, hidden by 15 foot tall Rhododendron, lush and green, and peak out at this little respite. A flowing water fountain, and some planters, set around a tiny gravel pathway.

Yesterday, I spent some time in the morning, at a Garden Center, and picked up a few more flowers, for these 4 planters, surrounding the fountain. Each planter has a tall Fuscia, with two different Petunia, one Dark BLACK (below, right), and one, a deep Violet (below, left in the planter). In front, is a flowing hanging Bacopa, in white.

The Hosta middle, left of the image, has a small warren underneath, that momma bunny had her little baby bunnies in!

The original Mint Planter, left, in Blue, was divided, half left in it, and half moved to the large Terra Cotta planter. The two smaller Terra Cotta planters are cuttings I started mid February, for Mint. Check out THIS MINT POST! for the story of HOW THIS 110 year old MINT CAME TO AMERICA!
