Garden: My Favorite Place In The World
I have no grass on my front lawn, just a mixture of all kinds of flowers from lupins, shasta daisy, monarda, day lillies, all in a rainbow of colors. My back garden is tamer with raised beds, roses, holy hocks against the house, clematis, and morning glories climbing the fences
Garden: Blue Flag Farm
Blue Flag Farm, named for the masses of Iris versicolor in the pastures, is an old New England farm. An eighteenth-century Cape Cod-style house next to the Pendleton Hill Brook overlooks stone walls, sheep pastures, and tall oaks. In the fields among glacial outcroppings are beds containing 600 daylily cultivars—large flowered, small, miniatures, and spiders. Some beds feature pink, purple, and red daylilies; others yellow, gold, and red. I take great pleasure in a seventy-by-forty-foot perennial border where perennials, shrubs, and annuals accompany daylilies in pleasing combinations. Delphinium, annual poppies, roses, salvia, clematis, nasturtium, herbs, and coleus are included.

Garden: Les Chemins de la Rose
Opened to the public in May 1999, Les Chemins de la Rose is a 4 hectares landscaped floral park in the heart of the Loire Valley. Its creation was motivated by the desire to respond to the expectations of visitors who came to Doué la Fontaine, the capital of rose production in France. Before the park's creation, visitors could only buy roses, not view them in a natural setting. The park is planted with more than 1 300 varieties of botanical, old, and modern roses. In all, there are more than 13 000 rose bushes.
Trees, shrubs, perennials, clematis and its famous lotus accompany the collection and enrich the beauty of one's stroll through the garden.

Garden: Casa Azelia
Mine is a terraced garden, not specially large, rising up away from the house like a long thin triangle with the point above the top terrace. When I bought it, during a drought, there wasn't much more than three terraces which should have been grass but were just dust, two rows of vines, and a dead tree.
The first thing I did was plonk an above ground pool on the bottom terrace - a great success as it was quick and relatively cheap, but diasterous aesthetically - cue extension of paved terrace, dry stone walls, steep rose bed in front of pool, and shady pergola.
In the past few years I have also added three pencil pines (which I tried to prune, with unhappy consequences); oleanders to screen the satellite dish; and two beautiful old olive trees. The first olive died so the second one came free. The dead one is now dedicated to the cats for climbing and scratching, and to a pretty blue climber, I dont know its name but it looks like a small flowered clematis, but isn't.
Roses grow like weeds here, and my other successes are the wildflower meadow, and my parsnips which I grew from seed - and am currently enjoying!!! Other favourite 'doers' include plumbago, solanum, wisteria, clematis, buddleia, lagerstroemium, lavender, rosemary and pinks. I irrigate as little as possible but am lucky enough to have a well for necessary watering. This year I hope to improve the wildflower garden and extend the pergola a little - money and help permitting.
Garden: Greedy hotchpotch
I am still in the process of breaking in the soil, putting in my favourite plants in a tiny piece of the garden and populating a big long balcony with things that can survive the full sun of the Italian summer. This spring I should see my first tulips, lillies, narcissus, paeonies, irises and alliums blooming. I should also see the Daphne, Osmanthus, Magnolia Stellata, Clematis Armaandi, the various types of clematis patens and rhododendrons put in at least a little bit of a show on the balcony...Of course there is always the chance that some of these will not like the Full sun treatment on the balcony but I will find out this year.
I need to describe the Vegetable and fruit area as well but I will leave that to later.

Garden: The Garden House
THE GARDEN HOUSE I started 20 years ago. first was an overgrown field which i slowly cleared as funds allowed. would have been cheaper to do it all at once but who knew? The vegetable garden went infirst with help from my dad putting in the posts. Rocks on top of posts keepthe rain water from splitting them as fast. and is quite picturesque for those that don't know the purpose. then a friend? had a not so bright idea to plant iris. Ihad all kinds but too wet at the bottom of two hills and we have the dreaded borer here. iris should not be mulched and the weeding was endless. at one time i had three thousand.. no i have moved on to perrenials.. and lots of peonys. i love the lilacs i got form my Dads property that now front my property and keep my dad in my thoughts always.. I also have my moms garden iris and they thrive. Lupine and foxglove abound. first the daisys and poppys appear folowed by black eyed susans. alwys somthing blooming . lastly the sunflowers, rose of sharon and turtlehead appear late summer. I have a latice that i stake and becomes a wall of clematis. simply covered with blossoms and greenery. My vegies are organic . I mulch with newspapers and grassclippings that biodegrade and feed the soil. this year i am topping with mulch and hoping to porlong the disintergration. seaweed is the best for muching. I finally got my garden house built ( my shed) and put a porch on it so I can sit and view al my work.

Garden: Vinograd Kitchen Winery
A cottage come kitchen come winery garden. I have a small vineyard which yeilds 40 gallons of wine & some Rakia plus there are various fruit trees with which I compote & jam the fruit. Alongside this I grow veggies for freezing pickling & cooking. At the moment I am still experimenting which gives me the best yeild & use but Pumpkin, Garlic, Pepper, Tomato & Carrots are so far my best. I am trying chillies beetroots cuecumber this year but next will be bigger & better with beans squashes & melons corgette marrows & eggplants I may even try corn. I am starting to make chutneys too. I have been growing different lillies & this year had great success with huge Caster oil plants also smaller bushes of small red trumpet flowers which close when the sun goes down. I have wonderfull peonys clematis & Crysanthemums but stumped on what to grow in shade? I have lots of the preverbial geraniums which look gorgeous but would love some really smally flowers in the garden.
I tend to focus more on the food side of it till its too late for flowers.
Its very very hot in the summer & very very cold with thick snow in winter.
Garden: Work in Progress
I have a small vegetable garden and I'm working on flower gardens. I compost and use cow manure. My style is relaxed and prefer a low maintenance garden. I mulch a lot to reduce weeding and to add to the soil.

Garden: Our Garden
We're building a garden from a scrap waste patch behind our cottage that the landlord was going to concrete.
We're taking a very slow, permaculture approach because we've discovered that from where we're starting, we have approx. 6" soil which is a mix of waterlogged mud and heavy clay, onto the old, C16th cottage floor. We're spending little bits on the garden as and when we can and we're cultivating cuttings from local hedgerows and plant-swapping.
Our initial plan is to cover as much of the breeze-block wall as possible with flowers and then build raised beds (ideal as I have spine injuries) from the rubble that we've pulled out so far, in which we can far easier manage the soil quality.
Last year we had success with carrots; onions (bedford champion); lettuce (lollo rosso) raspberries; roses; cucumber; lavender; and various herbs. We have also introduced a laburnum as a standard and have a little patch of lawn chamomile that's struggling valiantly.
This year, we've decided to take a side-step in direction and focus more on growing berries and dedicating the rest of the garden to our birds. We're also hoping to attract more butterflies and bees - especially as there are swarms literally vanishing in our area & we'd quite like to bring some back and maybe start a colony of our own.

We grow lots of perennials and a few annuals. Grandma has a huge vegetable garden. I did some veggies this year too! My pumpkins are taking over!

I started my garden 12 years ago. We put in flag stone paths, took out all the grass, filled planters with perennuals, shrubs, trees. We put in a corner pond and waterfall, a seperate sitting area and a seperate firepit area for family get togethers. We added a bird bath, bird house and feeders. Our backyard faces north so it has some shaded areas closest to the house and along the back fence has full sun. Because of the neighbors facing our backyard we added trees for privacy which have really enhanced our little enchanted garden.
Lisa's Garden Gift
What harm can come from a Sunday drive in the country Bruce asked...8 weeks later we were selling our postage stamp property and moving to our dream home on a acerage in the country. We both immediately knew that this was our home when we viewed it. Vacant for over a year it was over grown with no curb appeal. Give me 3 years and it will be transformed into the garden of our dreams!! This will our 3rd yard make-over during our 25 year marriage.
Bev Rampf
I'm a born gardener and love to be in the fresh air tending to everything green. We inherited our garden 19 years ago and have not really had the opportunity to make too many structural changes BUT have revamped beds and plant material over & over again in the 19 years. Each day in the garden is different & this makes for much variety in the life of the garden and gardener. Veggies & herbs are my latest favorite, being able to put on the table fresh from the garden is just so rewarding & even more so is being able to supply friends with home grown produce!!! May we become self sufficient soon, soon. One of my loves is being able to nurture & grow something unusual and this I have found in Clematis and Peonie which have been rewarding +++ and relatively easy without much fuss. I just wish I could find the winning formula for my orchids??? They won't flower. Anybody with a winning tip - please pass on.
Gazebo this year, it has hops, clematis and virginia creeper growing on it and of course the sunflowers and hollyhocks in front.
We've just recently planted the back part of this bedding area. The rocks were a nice addition and add balance to the terrace area on the other side. There are two clematis plants that will help soften the retaining wall.
The front plants, two iris, two daylilies and some blue fescue were planted last year and seem to enjoy the spots I planted them.
Sept 11, 2009 Clematis "Golden Harvest" Arch at front of house...new this year. Hopefully it will survive the winter.
Tree at the back of the picture is an ornamental plum. The rose is Blanc Double de Coubert (rugosa). Has a very floppy habit, but and amazing scent and no black spot problems. Crocosmia, bee balm, cranesbill geranium, a rhodo, dahlias, and a clematis.
A very dramatic clematis-type of dark purple columbine looks wonderful paired with Spanish bluebells behind it. The more common type had gone to seed when I took this, but the fluffier light blue version was still going strong.
The sadness of losing a tree. I need to think about what to do with this. We can't take the tree down to grade as it was used as a fence post by the neighbour to keep the cows out of our yard. Perhaps a vine of some kind, a clematis, or something.
Rhodos, hosta and lime-green spirea with an Ernest Markham clematis being trained against a new wall next to the driveway.
