Maturing trees mean a changing garden

My name is Ginny McNally , I ’m from Hatboro , Pennsylvania .

I ’d been gardening on a small scale for about 40 years . At first I had a vegetable garden , grew all sort of things . Then our tree start to take a lot of the temperateness away , so the vegetable garden was filled in . My married man and I built theEnglish - case gardenyou see , and I have render many different peak and plants . I have numerous gardens throughout my K .

A brickpatioand neatly trimmed shrub give this part of the garden a schematic feel , and the multitude of pots full of bloomingannualssoftens the spirit and brings colour to the space .

Mixed perennials fill this seam , with taller bush andornamental grassesforming a backdrop , while an urn fill withsucculentsmakes a centerpiece .

The flowers of this   fairly incredible doubled - floweredclematis(possibly the varietyClematis‘Taiga ’ , Zones 6 – 9 ) steal the show here , while foliage and a brick path organize the background to these incredible blooms .

This clematis flower is beginning to unfold stratum after layer of over-embellished - and - green petal .

One of the most important spot in any garden is a place to ride , relax , and love the beauty .

The increasingshadeof a maturing garden does n’t mean it has to be boring . Here a mixture of foliation in different colors , shapes , size of it , and textures create a beautiful effect .

This is of the more strange pieces of garden art I ’ve seen ! I love that even the car has been turned into a space for a few more plants .
