The Gardens of October... Can You Name Private Gardens?

Can you name a private garden?  Seems somewhat haughty....I think I am just giving it a theme.  Some people have ranch's that they name....so why not a garden? One day I want to name mine to be called "The Gardens of October.  I mentioned that in a previous post.  Someone said you could, absolutely....

Why, the Gardens of October?  Because I love October to be honest.  My gardens were never prettier.
Here are some pictures of last year.






I have good elements for it.
  • A creek


  • A cemetery next door

  • Spanish Moss


  • A swamp (I don't have a picture)
  • Bats (it's hard to take pictures of bats)...I call them all Milo though.  I always seem them at dusk. Would like bat houses.
  • A love for "spooky" things.  I lived in Louisiana for at least a quarter of my childhood.
  • Oh and did I mention I love October.
So if that is what I will call them one day, then I will gear toward blooms for that month.  Although, wouldn't it be neat to have beds for each specific month? Next year, I am doing the huge peacock topiary but the area is approx 2 to 3 acres, with three spigots and of course the creek runs the whole property.  That is something to consider.
