This was my first attempt at a perennial garden. I really hope they come back next year. Next summer I plan to plant more flowers for my babies down the right side of the fence line, add lots of Forget-me-nots, and hopefully have a tree planted in that empty left corner.
It already looks lovely. It's going to be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love all the stones and look forward to seeing more! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteit is absolutely beautiful. a labor of love for your labors of love. i'm so incredibly sorry that you had to have a garden to remember your children who are not here with you, but i know that it is nice to have a place that is dedicated to our children. and to have a way to mother them from afar. sending you so much love.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Becky, I can't wait for the day Evelynn and Liam's siblings are playing in this pretty garden.
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderful mother.

A beautiful start my friend! Perfect for your babies!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about the garden you've started for Liam and Evelynn! Those stones are amazing as is that awesome bench. The flowers and colors are so perfect! Other than the tree we planted for our son who we lost last year, we're putting in bulbs for the twins that we lost this year, so it will be nothing but dirt until next summer ...

ReplyDeleteit is beautiful! We made a garden for Cale. My mom, who is an avid gardener, helped me and she told me upfront to not take it personal if some things did not come back the following season. It's good advice because we pour our hearts into these projects and want them perfect for our babies. But they are plants and sometimes can be fickle regardless of how much love you put into them.
ReplyDeleteSo I hope that your plants to bloom beautiful next year and if not, there are many more that can be planted in memory of your special babies.
I Love your garden idea and the stones are great!, such a beautiful way to honor and remember your little bubbas, love to you x
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful.xo
ReplyDeleteLove the bench and the garden. I second Caroline's comment. I was so worried about planting something in memory of Eliza because what would it mean if it died? What would I do? I had to take a step back and trust that something would grow or we would replant but either way it was a tribute to our girl.
ReplyDeleteI love the stones and the bench so much. The pictures are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful memorial garden for your little loves! I am working on one at my house for my sweet Lily. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's truly beautiful. I hope you're finding some peace there among your gorgeous flowers!
