Comments (3)Plymouth (MA) Garden Club. Our plant sale is this Saturday May 21 from 9 to noon at the Chiltonville Congregational Church 6 River St Plymouth MA. We have very nice plants both divisions and starts carefully tagged and packed, as well as kitchen treats, attic treasures and boutique items. Come early for best selection. Benefits scholarships and civic beautification projects in our town. Thanks NH Babs for this thread....See MoreGarden tours, open gardens & garden club sales 2017
Comments (13)When the owner was asked by another visitor if she would be open again next year, she grimaced about the amount of work but I have a feeling her gardens are that spectacular every year (and weed free). She said she bought the property across the road and was planning an apple orchard. I feel lucky to have gone this year. She recommended Christopher Lloyd's book on succession gardening. Danielle's sister's garden in Nashua used to be on Open Days several years ago although I visited when it was on the local garden tour to raise money for the symphony. She was at Danielle's when I visited. Said her garden had a lot of vole and rabbit damage this year so she has lost a lot of plants. She had already started downsizing her tropical collection she planted in pots and next year when her husband retires, they plan to do a lot of traveling. I don't think her garden will ever be open to the public again which is a shame because she gardens on a small suburban neighborhood lot with a steep backyard slope that's shady. No professional landscape designer but she did need some gardening help. Lucky you to have visited the Epsom garden 10 years ago so to know how much it has changed. Funny thing, I didn't notice the pollinators but I did notice how well the red in the red and cream sunflowers along the side of the garage marched the paint color. Comments were made that the dark red was a great back drop for all the colors. It was painted three years ago ... I wonder how the painters dealt with all the plants? Maybe it was fall....See MoreEnglish Rose Garden Expansion Update - Summerland Ornamental Gardens
Comments (3)How lovely to hear from you, Rick. I just yesterday happened upon the Fraser Valley Rose Farm on Youtube, and, having lived in Prince George, Pemberton and Vancouver, I have a warm affinity for the BC area. I've grown and loved Mary Rose, Potter and Moore, Ambridge Rose and Evelyn, and also Glamis Castle, with considerably less affection, as I didn't care for the thorns and scent. There is still great affection, as you probably are aware, for the old Austin varieties on the rose forums, and how lovely to know that you are growing them in your wonderful part of the world!...See MoreMaster Rain Gardener - Front Yard Rain Garden
