After Diane and Ludvik Matula renovated their old house in Wharton, Diane set her eyes on the yard theyd salvaged. Although the new healthy lawn was better than mud and weeds, Dianes a gardener. One day she took a shovel to a back corner. And then kept on digging. With passalong plants, salvaged garden art finds, and a lot of work, she created a retreat of flowers, fragrance, and a pond for them and wildlife.

One of their dreams was opening a bed & breakfast. When Ludvik found the perfect old building to move next door, they named it BirdSong Inn.

Its hard to say what Diane enjoyed more: turning it into a cozy getaway or a chance to add more to the garden!
