Garden Tour: The Everything Garden

Though just the size of a suburban yard, the garden of Dolores Cavanah includes everything a gardener could want.

Portrait of Dolores Cavanah with pink peonies
 

To understand Dolores's passion for gardening, first you must picture this: Dolores is a woman who left Hawaii after 30 years because "gardening there got to be very boring." So she moved to the Pacific Northwest -- the agricultural area of Montesano, Washington, to be exact -- where gardening is "more interesting, more fun, more challenging."
