I just joined DG, so this is a great way to get to know some of you. I share my life with 3 cats and a tiny toy poodle named Pedro. I'm 54, single and have worked in a hospital for the last 36 years. I'm an LPN and have worked all over the hospital, but mostly in OB and for the last 6 years on a psych unit. The patients love the flowers I bring in. When I retire, I would like to do some type of garden therapy. I think it would be great for the psychiatric patients.

I live in a small home I bought 16 years ago. Over the years I've lived here, I've gradually enlarged the flower beds until now I have nothing but flower beds and paths. Below is a photo of my front yard. It's much better looking than I am!!

I grow a lot of daylilies, Iris, ornamental grasses, lilies and other perennials but also save some areas for annuals and have found gardening a great way to make new friends.
