Gardens
Such a cool exercise in creativity.
"September and October are still good months to plant fruit trees in mild climates. (Cold-winter climates should wait until late winter or spring.) Soils are still warm, rain is more frequent and trees can settle in over the winter, establishing strong root systems that will fuel growth next spring."
Window box perennials? ?♀️ "A combination of golden primrose (Primula vulgaris) and dusty pink hellebore (Hellebore sp.), also called lenten rose, come together with burgundy coral bells (Heuchera sp.) and miniature daffodils in this spring container design by Le Jardinet. While primroses are some of the first herbaceous perennials to bloom in early spring, lenten rose bloom even earlier, often throughout winter in relatively mild climates, making this a particularly long-lasting combination." Water requirement: Moderate to high Light requirement: Full sun to partial shade
"A border at the bottom of the raised deck includes ‘Credo’ yarrow (Achillea ‘Credo’), ‘Totally Tangerine’ avens (Geum ‘Totally Tangerine’), ‘Raven’ penstemon (Penstemon ‘Raven’) and ‘Caradonna’ sage (Salvia nemorosa ‘Caradonna’)." Such pretty textures and colors together. Friendly for bees & butterflies, the story says.
Hornbeam is a good one to know about.
I like the tomato structures in the first example.
What a beautiful container. Clusters of pink tulips surrounded by a froth of purple, white and antique rose-colored blooms transform this Chicago entry into a spring vignette. The container design by David & Jennifer Hoxsie of Greenhaven Landscapes also includes fragrant purple stock flowers (Matthiola sp.), purple African daisies (Osteospermum sp.), pansies (Viola sp.) and white sweet alyssum (Lobularia maritima).
Beautiful.
Not exactly a garden but what an outdoor room.
