Lewiston Garden Walk

It's time to start thinking about the gardens and how they will look this year.  The Lewiston Garden Fest held this year June 22-23 is just the ticket for new and helpful ideas.  These roses seem to have come with the house and I've no idea how to train them to stay out of the driveway. Used a trellis two years ago to try to hold them upright.  Then learned last year that I need to trim them back!  I hate removing perfectly good branches but now I have more flowers and they do not attach the car when I pull into my parking space.

Wandering through the temporary demonstration gardens various landscapers set up along Center Street I got the ides to set my decrepit birdhouse with no "clean-out" bottom IN the garden to create an inviting scene.  (I have plenty of creativity in the house, but apparently little or no garden sense!)

Bought a large leaf bird bath last year and set it right on the ground, this year I am going to look for a better way to display it so people see it and birds use it.
