Enough with the snow and cold


This is the view from my friend Gillian's upstairs window looking down on her magnificent garden!

The 30 foot labyrinth to the left was the start of her amazing plantings which include Stachys at the edge of the labyrinth and wonderfully colorful shrubs surrounding the area. She has herbs, flowering shrubs, evergreens and grasses. I have a complete plant list to share with you, it will be posted in about a week. As soon as I make a map of it.

Gillian is the most wonderful woman, she has been working in the garden for years and she shares it with whomever has the interest to view it. I am so envious but here in the  desert mountains there isn't a chance of it ever being duplicated in my lifetime. However, I'm thinking cactus and wildflowers.......

If you are interested in visiting a labyrinth in your travels you may find some (not Gillian's) listed here: https://labyrinthlocator.com/home    They have an in-depth index of places, be sure and abide by their requests for a respectful visit.
