“All Gardeners live in Beautiful places because they make them make so”

Westgate Pastures

     My husband, Scott and I enjoy spending our time outdoors fidgeting in the yard.  He loves puttering about at his outdoor workshop, building projects out of old pallets and reclaimed wood.  Myself, I flutter from one flower garden to the other like a butterfly grooming and replanting flowers and shrubs.  
     It’s a big job maintaining our acreage from grass cutting to lawn care.  I tend to wonder how my husband’s parents managed years ago.  We took over the acreage a few years ago and we were left with the most beautiful place any new country owner could wish for.  
     I learned a lot from my father-in-law, what to plant and how to arrange and design garden beds, from transplanting to grooming.  I’m deeply thankful for his knowledge and grateful for his teachings of how to become a successful gardener. 
     Gardening is a lot of work, though I enjoy it immensely.  During the spring and summer months this is where I'll be spending most of time.  I’m very excited to share my backyard oasis with you.
