January 2006 Winner

Vicki Miller of Kelseyville, CA is our January 2006 Winner!

My husband and I love to garden – so much so, that we made an enormous raised bed in our backyard and planted it full of daisies, coneflowers, sedum, and even a tomato plant in the lower right corner. We also planted hollyhocks in the background to run along the fence.

Before the daisies are in bloom, our raised bed comes alive with all sorts of columbine colors and purple iris along the fence too! Some of my garden favorites include the columbines, dahlias, coneflowers and gaillardia.

We are fortunate enough to have a breathtaking mountain view, and this always frames our garden beautifully. We’ve also planted lots of oriental grasses and oleanders in pots which are nice and colorful next against the large toyon trees next door.
