The Pyron Garden

The sign says, “You are welcome to walk through our backyard.” They mean it too. Guy and Joan Pyron have what they call a “hands-on garden.” They’ve never had an overall plan, and they love doing all the work themselves because, as Joan puts it, “you can just get down and play with it.” She doesn’t even consider it labor: “Ironing is work, but not gardening.”
