We feature Karin Grecu ’s California garden last November ( Check it outHERE . ) But today she ’s take us overseas . Karin says,“I’ve been long absent from the commentary gameboard as I ’ve inspect my house land , Germany , for a month . With the mild climate and frequent rain , the garden in Germany are very lush and the relaxed cottage garden elan dominates .
“ What most surprise me on my visit to Germany ( I grew up there , but only get into gardening 4 years ago ) , is that many of the flowers I have to purchase in nurseries here in California grow along the wayside there . And I do n’t mean pristine wild flower hayfield , but side of the route next to a construction site . Among those “ Mary Jane ” prosper with no forethought were pincushion flowers , dianthus , thyme , and hollyhocks . If only my unkempt areas spud those plants !
These are photos of the beautiful backyard of my godfather Peter and his wife Gisela in southern Germany . Not only is it a sea of colorful bloom , many of which Peter has sown and rear in their own greenhouse , but I also like the pretty arrangement and colour scheme of their vegetables . The wooden sculptures , of which there are several more in the backyard , were made by their Word Joerg . ”Beautiful , Karin ! I see lots of one of my favorite herbs – borage !
