The Rose Garden at Readmore borrows its mood from the past.
Although it was only started in 1998, it has the lush feeling of a Victorian garden, in part because of the old lilacs that border it. The flowers are a mixture of old garden roses, modern shrub roses, and many perennials and bulbs. There is a secret garden corner, a Japanese corner, a quiet sitting area, and a lovely fountain in the middle flanked by some very hardy roses.
Other borders feature peonies, vines, and herbs, all mixed in with many more roses, in fact there are over 50 varieties on the property, all quite hardy.
GUS, our life-sized gargoyle, sits atop our roof and protects the house from evil spirits, or at least from evil illiteracy spirits!
Can you guess what he is reading?
