Each year, the Corpus Christi Garden Council holds its annual garden tour to give visitors the chance to see how other gardeners make use of their unique planting and landscaping spaces. The garden council is having its second annual garden tour Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. This year's tour includes four gardens in Corpus Christi, the Botanical Gardens and two homes in Portland, including my own garden.

Nearly everyone in my neighborhood puts a great deal of effort into his or her landscaping. The pride really shows. I have three areas of landscaping in my yard. Trees and bushes, groundcover, and various plants and flowers. Trees and bushes are designed to provide a windbreak in some areas and shade in others, while complementing the look of the house.
