The Lilly Garden
The Lilly Garden is a special thing for me, and it's probably the hardest thing for me to leave behind. In the Spring of 2007 we became pregnant with our second child, but it wasn't until almost 11 weeks that we discovered that it was an ectopic pregnancy and would have to be terminated. I was heartbroken. So, that summer I felt inspired to plant a Lilly garden to honor the baby we would never get to meet.... it seems a bit silly, I suppose, but it meant alot to me. There are several kinds of Lilly's - and in the middle is a row of (as yet this year) un-opened Stargazer Lillies. They all bloom during different months, so that you should have Lilly's to look at from early summer through late fall. I would hope that whoever purchases the house would leave my Lilly Garden alone and enjoy it for me each year. :) |
