Woodland Garden in Maryland

A symphony in green

I ’m Mary Spencer , and I hold out in Carroll County , Maryland . We have lived on this beautiful lot for 21 yr , and I have been gardening for as long . We love the trees , razz , and butterflies . My married man and my three miniature schnauzers revel every evening on our screened porch .
