For those of you who know my neighbor, Sara (...see my posts on her delicious homemade pasta recipes!)  her husband, Michele (pronounced in Italian “mee-keh-leh”) has the most amazing garden I have ever seen. If you walk in their front yard, you are not going to find an HGTV perfectly manicured garden. Rather you are going to find a gentleman with an amazing green thumb! Michele has the capacity to grow everything and anything! Here, you will find cacti sharing the same container alongside basil….it’s absolutely incredible. He grows so many different kinds of herb, flowers, plants, etc….all together. No fancy equipment, soil, nor professional gardener….it’s just Michele, his hand held garden shears,  and watering can…..Sicilian style! Let me give you a quick tour!

Look at this beautiful sage bush!

You can find flowers of every kind and color……

….along with cactus, ferns, basil……

 

….baby palms…..

….even between the cracks!…..

….Michele leaves no wasted space =)

Up close, you should see how huge these mint leaves are!

 

Well, I hope you enjoyed Michele’s Sicilian garden! If so, be sure to leave a comment so that I can let him know =)

Happy garden growing!
