Bringing this great discussion back on topic, I've started shifting the design of my garden to adapt to aging. I just simply cannot imagine giving up gardening. The perennials are nice and established, but some of them need more tending than others. As I tweak the garden, I'm adding more structural plants, bushes, etc to give the garden a pleasing form and source of enjoyment, but eliminating some of the fussier plants and giving them to my niece who moved into the same town and is starting her garden.

@sueinmn, since you are a Master Gardener, I will most certainly turn to you if in need of tips and advice. 😉
