Beyer writes:

"My garden is a place that I can go to relax and delight in the wonder of growing things." About several whimsical touches in her garden, Beyer says, "Elves are busy at work in my fairy garden. It was fun to put together and my grandchildren are enchanted by it."

About another feature, she says, "Betty is very happy in my herb garden." Other features include a Maize & Blue garden, a woodland garden, and a garden angel.
