Native Plants

My Mom has been trying to have a lush garden for years. Grandma always had such a beautiful garden in Oswego, but sadly the 100+ temps, the lack of rain, and the sandy soil just would not coorperate.

This year the native New Yorker succombed to native plants that somehow manage to grow in the heat and look beautiful. Mom began a butterfly garden and plans for a pond are in the works.

The Necks can now be found relaxing outside in the new arty chairs that Dad repainted and enjoying the chiminea that Jody gave Mom. They are always looking for guests so stop by if you have a chance.



Side yard ready for a party!



Our Protector


Cleo, the mystery cat that is hard to capture on film.


Our very own gazebo.



All those plants create a ton of trash and John has to stomp on it sometimes.
