April 2009 Winner

Yvette Saggio of Villa Ridge, MO is our April 2009 Winner!

My gardens provide therapy and a sense of elation to see each and every flower in bloom.

I just love the beauty of plants. I add to each spot every year and it is finally paying off. I love to use unusual objects as planters. I used a bird feeder, filled it with sphagnum and gave it a wave petunia. I also found a limb with a pocket and put some lobelia in it. I have used old wooden ladders to create a trellis for clematis and wisteria. The coolest thing this year was to have a praying mantis egg sac hatch and to see the baby mantis is such a treat, they are so tiny.
