This is the garden area to the left (south) side of the front walk. When we moved here in 1987 it was originally a narrow area foundation planting with just shrubs and some Irises. Over the years I added more plants, and in April 2008 we decided I would significantly expand the area. It now starts at the front where the walk meets the driveway and goes to the fence at the corner of the house, making a large triangular area with a somewhat curved border. The soil at the back of the garden, under the overhang of the house, is very dry since the house prevents it from getting much rain. I have to be careful what I plant back there, and mostly it is trial and error. I try to make sure it is watered well during the summer months.

With my fascination with folklore, over the years I have been collecting garden statues of gnomes, elfs, etc. I decided to put them all together in this area – so the name Gnomeville.

Containing 134 plants, SneIrish's Gnomeville garden is an outdoor garden located in Swansea, MA, United States and is grown using organic principles.

This Frontyard garden is located in USDA Zone 6b and has Combination soil with a Partial Sun outlook.
