Pictures cannot describe some of the gardens being featured in the Niles Beautiful Gardens series. A lot of times, words cannot describe them either.
People have taken their love of gardening and turned their homes into peaceful, relaxing, beautiful escapes, surrounded by a wide variety of plants, flowers, bushes, trees and yard decorations. Bird and butterfly houses, bird baths and corn stands attract different wildlife, which also call many of the gardens home. All gardeners seem to enjoy watching the wildlife play, nest and graze their gardens right in the comfort of their own backyard.
Every homeowner seems to have a different vision for their garden. From antiques and ponds to modern decorations and firepits, a lot of time and thought has been put into the gardens and we hope as readers you are enjoying them as much as we have enjoyed showcasing them.
There are plenty more to come as this series has been a hit so far.
If you, or someone you know, has a beautiful garden that you think should be featured, call the Daily Star at 687-7713.
