We inherited an overgrown rock garden behind the house and wanted to make it a nice place to relax with a little more privacy than we had back there. As Bogey said in Casablanca, "Louis, this could be the start of something special."  Anyway, we thought a "walled" English garden would be nice there. It has taken two years to watch everything and see which plants were "weeds" and which were wildflowers or perennials.  We added more shrubs, a bench, a garden angel, lots more plants, latticework and an archway. The daffodils were from a neighbor's yard in Morganton that collected bulbs.  We carefully transplanted them a long time ago and waited until they multiplied enough to divide again.  The Jack-in-the Pulpits and Carolina Lilies were native wildflowers that just came up.
