SEPTEMBER 2009
This garden features a combination of perennials and annuals. The perennials were selected to provide changing color throughout the season. Such perennials include, Perovskia (russian sage), Monarda, Asters, Chelone, Phlox, Rudbeckia ‘Herbstsonne’, Achillea, Agastache, and Liatris. Perennial grasses add texture change and interest. This garden contains Miscanthus ‘Zebrinus’ and ‘Variegatus’.
Annuals provide a season of color around the border. Larger ones, such as dahlias are placed in the center of the bed to service as additional color between the perennials bloom times as well as cut flowers for bouquets.
Fall is a great time for designing and preparing new garden beds to get a jump on spring plantings. Perennials, trees and shrubs serve as a great structure to your garden with summer annuals ensuring season long color. Call us today to get a jump on your new garden beds.
AUGUST 2009
This Easy Edible Garden is a custom octagon shaped garden with a raised Chilton stone bed in the center. The plant material chosen was a mixture of vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers. Not only will this garden feed the family, but it gives them a space to enjoy with their grandchild. To make it even more child-friendly we added a special section we call the "children's garden". This section has fun flowers such as Celosia "the brain", Nasturtium the edible flower and soft foliage plants such as Saliva argentea.
It's not too late to start your own edible garden. Late summer is a great time to sow your fall crops such as spinach, lettuce, radish, beets for beet greens and cilantro for your second harvest. Contact HLG today!
