“ My garden is always evolve . My preferred citation is , ‘ If I stop gardening , I must be bushed ’ . We have lost many plants over the years due to ‘ veracious plant life , wrong location ’ and many more due to weather condition - interrelate issues . We had over 14 large oak tree tree when we first affect in and have lost most of them due to hurricanes ( famous and not - so - famous ) , turning our once - shady garden into semi - shade or Sunday . ”
