The stories your garden could tell

This idea came out of another thread...which I thought was so cool it deserved its own thread. :) Gardening in some ways is an intensely personal means of expression, and many (most?) of us have plants or objects of various sorts in our gardens because there is a neat story associated with them--we found them on a trip to a foreign country, it was given to us by a close friend, we have a genetic thing for cement poodles, etc. Does your garden, or some part thereof, have a story to share?
