Ted and Leila’s sanctuary

Ted and Leila Meyer talk about their garden, but the term “sanctuary” seems more appropriate, not only for their human guests but for the seasonal bird population as well. Ted and Leila’s garden, which features an amazing number of beautiful flowers, shrubs and trees, is made more special by the fact that they designed and planted it themselves. Favorites among the many garden elements are hand-crafted swinging gates at either end of the back yard. As noted, there are a number of birdhouses including the chapel design pictured here. All are occupied. In addition, the garden space features a quail-topped weather vane, a water fountain and a swinging wicker bench seat. Leila reports that her roses are coming on like gangbusters with the recent spring sun. Soon it will be my pleasure to visit once again.
