Backyard garden full of interest
While the centerpiece of this backyard is for water play, Annette Shrader finds the backyard’s garden areas are the real eye-catcher. There’s plenty of flowers, foliage, form and fun in the surrounding garden beds.

Born and raised on a farm, I’ve always appreciated the smell and feel of fresh earth. When we purchased our home 35 years ago, it had some land, but not a single flower. I began the process of plotting and planning garden beds and borders, and have not stopped. Looking out at this mature landscape, it gives me a sense of accomplishment here in my own botanical garden. On her producer role with Volunteer Gardener, Annette says “These are treasured experiences. The passion that people have for their gardens sends me home feeling refreshed, and challenged.
