Joni's Garden : Joni has long loved the garden and gardening. Flowers and Foliage are her great passion in the garden. "Gardening is both an addiction and therapy all in one", she has been known to say often to friends. The hard work and sweat that it takes to have a beautiful garden is well rewarded with beauty and satisfaction. I (John) have grown to love these green friends also. However, I also enjoy photographing them - and prefer that to the hard work - dirty part of gardening. That is not to say that my hands are not often dirty and my back sore! It won't take long for you to notice that the gardens are not perfect. As much as we would love to have "perfect" gardens, lack of time and nature itself contribute to the more natural look of Joni's Garden. We admire a well manicured yard yet are not driven to making ours precise. After all, it is more about the beauty that God has made than what we have done with it. Joni and I both hope you enjoy Joni's Garden with us. By the way - These images are available in Print, Download or Gift Items. Just click 'Buy' to see options.
