Wrenhouse's Backyard garden

Created on Tuesday, 06 Nov 07

A fall snapshot of the backyard perennial garden. We were away from it for a year as we rented our home out while overseas. It is somewhat overgrown and a major project next spring. Invasive perennials and weeds need clearing out and many plants need dividing and re-locating.
