I enjoyed looking at these pictures so much. Sometimes I will google “shade garden” and click on the images. They are so restful. Thank you for sharing this post.
A lovely garden! Solomon’s Seal, Jack in the Pulpit, and Trillium are all favorites of mine. I recall once visiting Mont Royal Park in Montreal in the spring and being amazed by the drifts of Trillium there. Here was this rare flower growing with abandon in an urban park!
I agree, that Japanese Maple is a bit big for moving. Any volunteer maple greater in thickness than my thumb is almost impossible to move I find.
I often wish I had a garden with a stone bench like that, just for contemplating, remembering. And like you, I’d be out there with a big mug of coffee. I was out with a friend last week – she lost her Mom last year; I lost mine over 10 years ago, but we both got teary remembering them. In the end we always do know one thing, they always did the very best they could in raising us, and much of the good stuff we are is largely thanks to them. (OK, dads do get a lot of credit, too.) 🙂
Happy Mother’s Day, to Cynthia and blog family.
Thank you, dear Aggie. Wishing you a good day.
Beautiful gardens Cynthia. Looks like a wonderful place to rest and relax.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Thanks, Brad!
Really moving words Cynthia and a beautiful spot to sit in your Mama’s garden.
Thank you, Julie. It is. And I imagine there are lots of lovely places to sit in your garden too. Happy belated Mothering Day/Mother’s Day to you.

I too, stop in my tracks at the sight of whole drifts of trillium. What a sight!
Beautiful set of photos! Lovely gardens 🙂 Bye. Kamila

So well said. Our mothers did the best they could, despite tough times and – I’m sure – uncertainty at times. Parenting is tough!
So lovely & peaceful!
Perfect for mothers day!
