TCMGA OCTOBER FIELD TRIP
On a beautiful fall October day, 35 TCMGA members headed for northwest Ft. Worth/Azle to view two gardens.
First stop was at LeeAnn Rosenthal’s natural habit yard. LeeAnn has maintained a “do no harm” policy with her yard. It is almost in its natural state with minor tweaks. She identified many native plants that she has allowed to have free rein. A charming wooden bridge greets visitors at the front of the property. She has allowed wildflowers to flourish all along the roadside portion of the property. Her yard has several brush piles for little animals to use as residences. Scattered around her property are many interesting objects including a “blue” area and some found objects that lend much character to the grounds.
Then we moved on to Tammy Edward’s home on the shores of Eagle Mountain Lake.
Tammy’s large, deeply shaded property contains a water feature that trickles down through the entire back yard ending in a large pool complete with fish. A fountain consisting of three large pots was the centerpiece of a large boxwood maze. Many of the members could be seen walking the maze. Her garden gave off a serene, peaceful feeling as the sun dappled through the deep shade. This is where we enjoyed our box lunches and spent time visiting with our fellow garden trippers on a beautiful fall day.
