What started nineteen years ago as 3 tomato plants, shared by an elderly
neighbor, quickly turned into a love of gardening. We learned how to
grow many things from seed, propagate our own plants and pack our yard
with lovely plants while filling our table with fresh herbs and vegetables.
We shared our extras with friends and neighbors. Then we found sites
where you could trade for other plants and soon we had a few daylilies
which led to collecting daylilies and eventually hybridizing our own daylilies!
It didn’t
take long to fill our ¼ acre lot!
In 2004, we had our sixth daughter. We had outgrown our home and the
yard was down to paths of grass between gardens. We had truly found many
things that made us happy but could longer fit them into the space we
had. So we started looking for a new place to call home. In 2005, we
found a place that needed a lot of work but that could be moved into
with a few updates. The bonus was that the home was situated on 7.25
acres which would allow room for the girls and the gardens to grow.
We threw all caution to the wind, bought the house, leaving city life
behind us and Gemini Garden was born.
*Special update!*. Our son Nolan was born in March of 2009!
It is so fun to watch him grow up with his six big sisters in our
world of flowers and sports. He's already spoiled rotten and surrounded
by tons of loving arms.
We wish you all peace and prosperity!
