My neighbor across the street bought the house two years ago, and as luck would have it, happened into a fully mature perennial garden. It’s the kind of situation I dream of finding when I finally buy a house. Christina will admit to not being much of a gardener, but the garden has been in place long enough she doesn’t really have to do much to it, so it’s been puttering along happily for the couple of years she’s had it. Right now, the crocus and snow drops are in bloom, and looking completely lovely. And, the bees are apparently out for the season, as the entire garden was just buzzing with them.
