Summer in My Garden

Lime Light and Annabelle hydrangeas, daisies, sea foam roses, catmint, white bleeding hearts, butterflies, the occasional toadstool, phlox, acorns, vinca, chickadees, Chardonnay pearls, Siberian iris, tree frogs, and anemone — a lovely bouquet of green and white.

Spring 2021 in My Garden

“I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose I would always greet it in a garden.” — Ruth Stout

Blossoms on the redbud and “Bertine”, fragrant sweet Woodruff, bleeding hearts, beautiful white and red trillium, Virginia blue bells and brunnera, bloodroot, hepatic and violets, fiddlehead ferns, lilies of the valley and double columbine, and of course a pretty little beagle — this spring in our garden is especially lovely.

Late summer’s focus is on light and texture as spring’s delicate, white blossoms give way to great verdant bunches of hydrangeas, sturdy cone flowers, fragrant roses, ephemeral daylilies, and ethereal catmint.
