That's a tall stump. It would make a great totem pole.

You could put an umbrella on top. LOL what a shame to loose such a large tree. :(

When I grow up I want to be a gardener just like you.

What a beautiful vision, someone has a very artistic 'eye'.... sally

I love that,so pretty.Looks cool and inviting.I love that garden gate,also.

I agree cool and inviting. I'd like to go through the gate. Maybe that's where the fairies live.

I am so there ,ok ok But I so want to be!!!!

It reminds me Rain forests we used to see on NatGeo and Discovery channels...

Oh, Wallisadi,

Your garden looks so fresh, cool and serene! Lovely, just lovely, and so inviting. Foliage is my favorite, so it is a feast for my eyes. I also love the gate, but I also done how you've used the vertical component with the baskets, vines and the trees. Great artistry. Thanks for sharing.

Looks way better than the last time I saw the front yard!

My goodness, what a lovely spot you have there. I really need shade...:(
Yours is beautiful!

What is the groundcover? It looks great in the shade

I just want to hang out in your garden and look at all the wonderful plants. Your pics remind me that I have a lot to learn and do but also remind me what can be accomplished. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
