What in the world is a gnome garden? It's an unusual idea I conjured up in the dead of winter, that's what! After my brother passed away, we received a monetary gift from Joel's oldest brother and sister-in-law to be used specifically for a living memorial of Doug. This was very fitting since my brother was a tree and flower lover. After considerable thought, and with the inspiration from one of my favorite catalogs, I decided to redo my corner flower bed and decorate it with gnomes. I then consulted my friend Jodi, gardener extraordinaire, and shared my thoughts. She took the idea and ran with it! I absolutely love her creation!

BEFORE: The flower bed consisted primarily of hostas and vinca vine which I pulled (see piles).

Jodi moved the hostas to the back of the flower beds, then planted a variety of new flowers and herbs. She also created stone paths for the gnomes to use when they visit one another. :)
