My Mother’s Beautiful Garden
My mother’s beautiful garden (Dad did a lot of the work too, but Mom likes to make it all beautiful as well as functional!).
This beautiful garden was planted and cultivated by my amazing parents. They own 40 beautiful acres just a few miles away from us. I love going to visit them and their garden.
In addition to all the beautiful flowers, there’s an abundance of vegetables, including sweet corn!
So many butterflies visit their garden every day. They’re drawn to all the beautiful flowers.
I love the marriage of beauty and practicality in their garden.
And here is the greenhouse my dad built.
We have been so thankful for all the melons, tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes, radishes, beets, onions, lettuces, and other lovely produce they have blessed us with. Thanks, Dad and Mom!
This book has been a favorite of theirs as they plan out their garden and homestead.
Thanks, Jacinda!
Simply Beautiful! We're planting a REAL veggie garden next year for the first time and I hope it looks exactly like this! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

Thanks! My parents are great gardeners. My mom's college degree is in horticulture, and she just loves everything about gardening. I hope to learn more about gardening from both of them. I hope your week is blessed!

Thank you for your enthusiastic comment! I'll have to share it with Mom. 🙂 I'm envious of their large planting space, too. They have over 40 acres, if I'm remembering correctly. We just live 10 minutes from them, and we hope to be more help to them with their garden next year.
Oh my, I am in awe! That has to be one of the greatest gardens I have seen! It is beautiful and I am envious of all their room to plant. What a blessing!
Amazing!
I love the butterfly pictures,just beautiful! Great job!
Peace,
Georgiann
Tis a wonderful garden…your parents must truly have green thumbs for sure and for certain 🙂 Blessings
Thanks, Deanna!
My husband built some raised beds at a previous house, and we loved them. There is so much that is great about raised beds! I'd like to have some where we live right now. Maybe next year…
I hope your week is blessed!
It's a lovely garden…I love mix of flowers and vegetables.
We have done raised beds the last two years but may switch to regular beds as we are wanting to get more vegetables from our space.
Thank you for sharing!

That is an amazing garden…very impressive. There is nothing better than home-grown anything, especially organic. So tasty and healthful!
Thank you, Grace and Gen!
Wow is right~ The pictures are lovely. I'm so glad your parents had a wonderful garden. Ours didn't make it this year. I love the pictures.
Thank you, Sarah! They are great gardeners, although the heat really was hard on their garden. 🙂
It IS a beautiful garden, Joy! Wow! Your parents must be wonderful gardeners, and you captured the beauty so well in the photos. I really enjoyed all of them . . . very inspiring!
