When my husband and I were looking for our first house together it was just as important to me that I love the yard as well as the house.  My mother always had the most beautiful flower gardens and she grew the tastiest foods in her vegetable garden.  I wanted to have all of that.  I figured that at least some of her green thumb had to have worn off on me.

I had a lot of lovely houseplants and I could grow them well, but it was just not the same thing as having a garden.  When we were looking at houses, our realtor always made sure to check what kinds of garden features the house had before having us come to take a look at it.  She knew how important this was to me.

We ended up finding the perfect house with the perfect yard.  It has four different flower gardens and a really big vegetable garden.  The house is also everything that I ever dreamed of.  I am happy that we found something that seems like it was created just for us and I honestly can’t ever see myself leaving.
