Recall our spring obsession with sedums? Still growing strong in early October! Minimal extra watering and full baking sun.
Amsonia is an incredible showstopper in the fall! 💛🧡 However, you’d better be sure you plant it in the place you intend it to be FOREVER. Digging out a rootball later is not for the faint of heart or weak of back!
Contrasts in the same garden. Calm, muted entrance walk leads to a riot of hot, color pops poolside! We’re really pleased with the petunias this year.
Time to celebrate our garden helpers! Having a healthy, balanced garden includes ALL the creepy crawlies, and we especially love seeing yellow orb weavers this time of year.
Cottagey garden feel in Durham. 🐝 love it! And who doesn’t love the ☀️ color of rudbeckia?
Incredible pollinator plant-mountain mint. Too hard to count all the different bees, wasps, and butterflies buzzing away. And a few more before and afters. Enjoy!
Before and after of today’s garden transformation 💚 This courtyard garden needed a lot of weeding and editing of overgrown vines. More work is needed, but 🤩 for today!!
A hot garden today, but it’s hard to complain when you are surrounded by so much beauty! And if you stood still for a minute (rare for us!!) you could hear all the pipevine swallowtail larva munching, munching, munching!
First Clivia bloom of the summer. Over wintered Clivia s usually put out blossoms once I bring them@out to the front porch. This baby is from My great grandfather George’s Clivia plant.
Late, late spring gardens enjoying the cool weather we’ve had
Beauty over the last few weeks
Another new-to-us container experience… these could become addicting.
