Michele (aka 'Bunny') and her family are avid gardeners. Her love of gardening goes back many years to her childhood. Since then she has been fortunate to have traveled throughout the world to find inspiration for her garden. From the historical gardens of Colonial Williamsburg, the formal gardens of Versailles, the artistic gardens of Giverny, the spectacular balconies in Venice, Italy and the wonderful gardens in England.

My My Worst Nightmare
{by my son, Teddy R. at age 11}

I get out of bed
Although I am scared
I really dared
To look under the bed
And right there I see a head
