About Me

My photo
Jayne
Originally from England, I have lived in the Houston area since 1982.  
 
My husband Eric and I live in the small town of Tomball, Texas, just outside of Houston.  
 
I've had a love of gardening since I was little and am now enjoying the challenge of creating a serene garden retreat and wildlife habitat at our new home.
