Describe your yard or garden

[Debp]

As an apartment dweller, I'd enjoy hearing about your yards or gardens. I just have a few potted plants on the communal patio.

Does anyone have a water feature? Maybe even a pond or stream? Would love to see some photos.

We have been on our property coming up 31 years. We renovated a dilapidated inground swimming pool, I added a small lily pond, and there is a stream that becomes a river in heavy rain at the bottom of our gully, which is still being landscaped, as this photo shows.

Thanks for answering and enjoyed the photo. Do you have a photo of the Lily pond and stream?

@TLHKAJ Do you have any water on your property?

Our property backs up against some native forest and a river. A hiking trail winds along the river which, when finished, will extend across the state.

I built a little "Prayer Garden" with a bench, a bird bath, and an arbor draped with orange trumpet vine and surrounded by azaleas, rhododendrons, daphne, andromeda, and mahonia. Hikers are welcome to sit and rest and pray.

That sounds beautiful. Especially your little prayer garden for all to enjoy. Can I ask what State? If you don't want to say, that's ok.

I grew up in Pennsylvania where there are lovely yards even in the city. And lovely woods very near to the city.

I have over an acre on this fruit and nut farm....
Currently I am hoping to bring back my herbs to life.

They used to look great....

Currently I'm involved in a project working with leather. My father gave me some chrome tanned leather and I'm making some new armrests for a recliner. I might have enough for the seat and back too....I hope so.

That sounds so beautiful. Are you able to post a pic of the church if it is one of those old, beautiful ones? Or at least describe it?

I love the old churches. There are some here. But, most of the real old ones are back East and also in the U.K. I watch Escape to the Country and they show many old churches in the villages.

I can't figure out how to upload pictures onto this site. I can do it on Facebook but not here for some reason.

Wow, that is absolutely gorgeous! Can you post any of your ponds?

What county are you in? I have gotten more familiar with various counties in the UK since watching Escape to the Country regularly. If I hadn't been born in the USA, would have loved the UK.

Thank you Debp, I’m in the UK...here are my tiny ponds, they are abundant with wildlife, the birds bathe and drink from the ponds...they are very overgrown now...the wildlife love that...

My mother before she passed away had a vegetable garden. I would always get fresh garlic for my cooking from that when I lived with her. Later she moved and made a water fall tiny pond. It was super.

The waterfall pond sounds lovely. I always love the sound of water. That's why I miss rain so much.

Here in Los Angeles there are various fountains and even fountain complexes. When I was walking better I would search them out. My mom and I would take the subway to get to them.

Here is California Plaza in downtown. We often went to free concerts there. The top part of the fountain can be turned into a stage.

When I was married, my wife's family took me on vacation to Hawaii. I worked for 20 years and because of illnesses I had never was able to take a vacation. The vacation was awesome and we went on a short hike down to a natural waterfall. It was so peaceful and awesome to be near. It was great. Let me see if I can find a picture of Hawaii's water falls:

This is very brief....Grand Park near Los Angeles City Hall.

Yes, I love Hawaii. Haven't been for many years. The first visit (1970) I spent a month on Oahu. Afterwards I saved up and took my mom....we saw Kauai, Maui, Oahu and the Big Island of Hawaii.

Love Kauai the most because it is so lush.
