My mom has a real passion for gardening, preferring a more wild British look with overlapping plants and flowers than the look you often get when hiring a suburban landscaper. We've incorporated iron garden ornaments, wooden signs and red candleholders which I've hung from the trees. The garden attracts hummingbirds, which I could watch for hours, and I fill feeders that feed the same three hummingbirds each year -- they keep coming back.
