Syysleimu, kallionauhus, liljoja, malva ja kultapalloja puutarhassa elokuussa. Ympäri puutarhaa oli kesällä myös vesiastioita siileille ja muille pikkueläimille. 

 Fall phlox, summer ragwort, lilies, mallow and goldball in the garden in August. I also put water containers around the garden in the summer for hedgehogs and other small animals.
