The garden also contains climbing honeysuckle, climbing scarlet runners along the back fence that are edible, several red raspberry bushes, two apple trees, several ornamental grape vines, and holly bushes.

There are also six different types of ornamental grasses for your viewing pleasure.

The herb garden contains three different types of basil, oregano, Rosemary, sage, and catnip that is enjoyed by the two cats that also live here.
