Homeowner goes on a kitchen garden adventure

by | Aug 12, 2021 | Life & Style

After a few years of growing the typical Texas flowers; pan­sies in the winter, impatiens in the summer in the normal front flowerbeds, homeowner Kori Hendrix realized she wanted more variety and more gardens at her Wylie home.

There was ample opportuni­ty to make these dreams come true in her vacant backyard, and in 2019, Kori put in flower beds along with help from her husband. Her inspiration came from London where she lived for three years prior to her Texas move in 2010.
