That is a beautiful garden, no wonder your dad loves it. He must be very appreciative that you did this for him too. Good idea about the dog!

Very thoughtful to lengthen the garden and keep it whimsicle. When did your Dad move there? Is he the same parent that was living at your house? susie

That is very neat. I bet he really enjoys the garden you have made for him. I would hope my kids would do the same for me. Very thoughtful of you.

You are a doll to extend your Dad's garden and think up things to surprise him! Nice work.

This is a pretty garden. I'm sure your dad is the envy of neighbors.

Very pretty!!! your dad is lucky to have you... bet he's the envy of all the residents.

What a great thing to do for your dad! I'm sure he'll love his new expanded garden!

LOVE the extended garden and please add my "thanks" to the Sr. housing who allowed you to do it...so picky about these things with mowing and all!

That is a very special gift, golden, and I'm sure your Dad loves sharing it with everyone! Love the boot and many beautiful flowers! Jeanne S.

Awwwww, goldenpond, that is so fun! I can just picture you having a hay day putting that garden together! What a great way to spend time with your dad, create something beautiful for him to look at and get his neighbors over to talk about it. I LOVE your idea about the dog! lol! What a charge he'll get out of that and it will make a great story to tell his neighbors. he-he

What kind of plant is that in the boot? That is so cool! Gosh, can I come visit your dad? That looks so inviting compared to our dreary gray and brown around here.

What a nice thing to do for your dad!! Nice that the head of complex let you do it also!! I'm sure that all the neighbors are enjoying your dad's garden as much as he does. They have something new in their surrounding that keeps growing & changing & with the cute additions, new puppy, how fun!! It makes them remember back to when they got a dog or some other incident with a dog & helps keep their minds alert!! Thanks for putting the American flag in your garden for your dad too!! Every garden should have 1, mine does. I am always smiling when I see 1 in front of a house or high over a business or as part of a side yard garden. We have it better than most of world even with money problems & job insecurity right now. We have hard fought freedom here! Keep us posted on the latest developments!! Jan

Great way to keeping the mind alive!!

That is wonderful, not only for your Dad, but for his neighbors too. Its definitely some place he will treasure and think of you everytime he looks at it. How special !

You are Awesome!!! :)

You are a wonderful daughter doing somthing so nice for her Daddy, and I'm SURE he enjoys braggin to his neighbors what you have done.
And adding the puppy is just too cute.
So much love in that garden...

It's beautiful. I bet all of the residents and guests enjoy it as well.

Cute idea about the puppy!

That is beautiful! I am sure your dad really enjoys seeing everything and getting comments too(-:

Love the airfern in the boot and the chia head. My sis-in-law has a similar chia with a succulent growing out of the head that looks sorta like thick hair. Not sure the name of the variety. I just love fun stuff like that, and your Dad will enjoy this garden a lot. He'll enjoy you adding to it as you find more cool junk. ~tenderlee

Goldenpond,
What a wonderful thing to do for your dad.
I bet he will enjoy watching the plants get
bigger and fill out the space. As well as all
of the cute knickkacks.

YOU BIG SWEETIE!!!! Love it!!!
