"A Gardner's Paradise"

I have dabbled with indoor and outdoor plants for years. I discovered in those years that I don't have a green thumb when it comes to growing plants inside, but I've gotten a lot better over the years outside. However, my garden is still a "work in progress."

My many mistakes have not deterred be from what has become truly a passion. I love gardening and trying to create a backyard oasis.

I've discovered that a lot of my co-workers love gardening almost if not more than I do and they're pretty proud of their labor of love in the yard.

I've included some photos of our outdoor prized possessions.

I'm thrilled with my thriving Weigela. Its a perennial that's grown more than 10-feet tall and spans about 12-feet wide. When I bought it six years ago, it was just a two foot shrub.

Check out Meteorologist, Betsy Kling's humongous Sum and Substance Hosta and Lydia Esparra's beloved Japanese Maple Tree.

Do you have a plant, shrub or tree you want to boast about?
I'd love to see photos of the jewels in your yard.

Just send pictures to me at romonarobinson@wkyc.com and I'll post them here!
