Before and After

 

For Mother's Day I decided it would be fun to finally put some flowers in the old planter bed under the deck.  It's something I have been planning to do for many years now but it just keeps getting shoved down to the bottom of the list.  The flowerbed is right outside the window when I sit at the computer and I'm excited about having a prettier view!

Here's the before pictures:

Maddy loves to work in the garden so she was quite happy to get her grubbies on and dig in the dirt.  It didn't take us too long to dig out all the weeds and get the bed ready for planting.  Then came the fun part - picking out plants!  We all trooped down the farm store and wandered through looking at all the amazing flowers.  It was hard to narrow down our choices!  We decided to pick out some plants for my mother-in-law, too so she could have her own little flower bed.

 

The girls had great fun planting all the flowers.  I'm glad I have kids who like to dig in the dirt.  My mother is an amazing gardener with a stunning yard and her mother also loved flowers and working outside.  I love sharing that with my girls and I love having a Mother's Day gift that will brighten my day every time I look out the window for years to come.
