I took these photographs at the Ogden House in Fairfield, CT this past week. It is located at the entrance to Oak Lawn Cemetery, where Mary Tyler Moore is buried.

In colonial times, houses near the CT shore used sea shells as mulch in their gardens, to prevent weed growth. If you look closely, you'll see that here.

Nice garden. Interesting about using seashells as mulch. I've heard of using stone, but not seashells.

An interesting garden, well-maintained. It stands to reason people would use materials at hand, but I'd never heard of using seashells for mulch.

I love seeing this area. I didn't know you were so close to the shore. I also didn't know Mary Tyler Moore was buried in that area. I have been to Connecticut many times but not enough to say I really know all that much about it. Thanks for sharing. Hugs-Erika
