Ponds and Petals Garden Railroad Plant Page

Welcome to the Ponds and Petals Garden Railroad plant page. Here I will list and talk about the plants that are planted on are rail road. The many plants, trees, shrubs and ponds are what makes Garden RailRoading so enjoyable here at our place. My wife, Carolyn, is a Master Gardener and she is the one who has come up with the variety that we have today. We also have a AHS Daylily Display garden here so we are looking for and planting all the minature and small Daylilies along with Hostas we can find.
